Abstract
A procedure for entering into an elevator control computer information specific to a particular installation of an elevator provided with operating devices capable of data transfer includes employing a computer test programme to map elevators used in the particular installation and their positions by sending out a query round to addresses which are tabulated in the computer and which represent all possible operating devices, and by inferring the kind and number of the action means present in the installation on the basis of the answers received in the query round. During a test travel of the elevator, by activating and reading the devices the location of the devices, the geometry of the building and the distances between floors are sensed. All the information thus received and which is necessary for controlling the elevator is stored permanently in the memory of the control computer, to enable normal operation of the elevator in the installation.
