CONVEYING SYSTEM WITH A CENTRAL CONTROL UNIT AND AN ASSOCIATED METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IT

摘要

A central control unit of a conveying system having a memory with control data and/or configuration data for controlling the operation of a function of at least one other modular device of the conveying system. The conveying system can be an elevator system or an escalator system. These systems include the central control unit and at least one other modular device for performing a function of the system and can include more than one of these modular devices. The central control unit can store the control and/or configuration data of some or all of the modular devices. Upon installation of the modular devices or replacement of a modular device, the central control unit will automatically download the control and/or configuration data it has on its memory so that the modular device can store the data on its own memory. Such operation removes the necessity for pre-programming the modular devices before installation to the conveying system.
