摘要

The escalator has a revolving belt (10) with master and slave control units (60, 30) and a drive station (20). The slave control unit has a first conductor plate (40) with a first set of electronic components for transmitting to the master control unit data relating to the function of the escalator whilst the master control unit has a second conductor plate (70)of identical structure with electronic components to evaluate data and control the escalator. The two sets of electronic components can also be identical. The conductor plates can have switches and can be configured as a master control unit or slave control unit depending on the position of the switch.
