Method And System For Determining Elevator Car Position

摘要

A system for monitoring elevator car travel includes a plurality of bi-stable sensors (12) traveling with an elevator car (10); a plurality of sense elements (20) positioned along a path of the sensors (12); the sense elements (20) causing the sensors (12) to assume one of a first state and a second state; wherein states of the sensors (12) define a zone code (30) identifying a zone corresponding to the elevator car (10) position, the zone code (30) being a gray code.
