Procedure for controlling an elevator

A procedure for determining the position of an elevator car in which the code data contained in code units mounted in the building is read by means of a code data detector unit (4) in such manner that a code unit containing floor data and door zone data is mounted essentially close to the threshold of the landing door on each floor and that the detector unit reading the floor data and door data is mounted essentially close to the threshold of the car.

Procedure and apparatus for determining the position of an elevator car

The invention relates to an apparatus for regulating the speed of an a.c. elevator motor (10) by means of a frequency converter (8) consisting of a rectifier bridge (12) and an inverter bridge (14) with an intermediate circuit between them. The frequency of the frequency converter is adjusted until it corresponds to a frequency reference (f.sub.ref) corresponding to the speed reference (v.sub.ref,v.sub.ref ') of the motor. The velocity of the motor (v.sub.real) is measured to form a speed feedback signal. According to the invention, the apparatus has elements (24,26) for correcting the speed reference (v.sub.ref) on the basis of the change occurring in the voltage (U.sub.c) of the intermediate circuit.

The invention relates to a method for protecting an I/O electronic circuit against overvoltages. The I/O circuit of the electronic circuit is provided with a current path (1) comprising a first diode (V1N), through which current path a current (ip) flows when the mains voltage is negative, and with a second current path (2) comprising a second diode (V1P) and a thyristor (T1), the thyristor (T1) being fired by a time-delay circuit charged by a positive voltage, and that the current flowing through the current paths (1,2) is used to trigger a protection device.

Speed control system for a motor with short-circuited rotor

A control circuit for use with an electronic guard strip for preventing collision of the strip with a moving object. A control such as a relay, is connected to at least one antenna, which antenna forms a capacitor together with a base in its ambiance. A voltage generator conducts an alternating voltage to the antenna. The control and the antenna are connected in circuit relation to an amplifier. A change of voltage arising from any capacitive protuberation in the antenna is conducted to the control. The voltage from the amplifier is conducted through a rectifier to another amplifier that is connected so as to have its direct current gain as +1, but which amplifies any change of voltage occurring in the d.c. voltage input to a multiple and which further acts upon the control through a comparator.
