Abstract
The invention relates to a method for regulating the brake(s) of an escalator or moving walkway, independently of the load. According to the invention, actual values are supplied to at least one regulator which contains at least one nominal value, the regulator intermittently performs a comparison between the nominal and actual values and controls at least one brake magnet using these values. The brake magnet or magnets in turn regulate(s) the brake(s) in such a way that a predeterminable linear braking deceleration can be achieved, whereby nominal values, in particular, in the form of several temporary deceleration values, are stored in the regulator in nominal value fields or nominal zones.
