Access Control System for Override Elevator Control and Method Therefor

摘要

A system and method for an access control system for an elevator system that overrides landing matrices that define the access to the floors in the elevator system. The system overrides the landing matrices of the access control system in response to conditions defined by security system operators, such as emergency situations, and sends the landing matrices to elevator controllers for controlling the access to the floors. In examples, the system supports configuration of vendor-neutral landing matrix objects sent to the access control system over a security network for creating new landing matrices, and overriding the contents of the existing landing matrices.

主权项

1. A security control system for an elevator system, comprising:
an elevator controller that controls access to floors served by one or more elevators; an access control system that stores one or more landing matrices that define the access to the floors, the access control system providing the landing matrices to the elevator controller, wherein the access control system includes a landing matrix API that accepts landing matrix objects in messages received over a security network, the landing matrix API overriding the landing matrices with the landing matrix objects; and a security network control system that enables configuration of the landing matrix objects, and sends the landing matrix objects in the messages to the access control system over the security network.
