<Operation of Remote Monitoring System for Elevator According to First Embodiment>
Next, the operation of the remote monitoring system 1A according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the sequence diagram of FIG.

  First, when the elevator is installed for the first time, the maintenance staff obtains adjustment data of a plurality of items for each device in the elevator in order to operate the elevator in a state suitable for the installation environment. As the adjustment data of a plurality of items, for example, the door motor adjustment data for adjusting the output current value to the door motor, the stop height adjustment data for each floor for adjusting the stop height, and the installation position of the hall operation panel are shown. There is hall operation panel position data, etc.

  The acquired adjustment data of each item is transmitted from the maintenance worker mobile terminal 40 to the elevator control device 10A via the communication network 20 or directly by short-range wireless communication (S1). In the elevator control device 10A, the adjustment data of each item transmitted from the maintenance personnel mobile terminal 40 is sequentially acquired from the first communication unit 14 and stored in the first adjustment data storage unit 12 as information unique to the elevator. Thereafter, in the elevator, the operation control unit 13 adjusts the operation of the device by the control software stored in the control software storage unit 11 with the adjustment data of each item stored in the first adjustment data storage unit 12 and executes the operation. Is done.

  When the process of acquiring the adjustment data of all items is completed, the adjustment data of each item stored in the first adjustment data storage unit 12 is transferred to the first communication unit 14 based on an instruction from the maintenance staff mobile terminal 40 by the maintenance staff. Is transmitted to the remote monitoring device 30A via the communication network 20 (S2). In the remote monitoring device 30A, the adjustment data of each item transmitted from the elevator control device 10A is acquired by the second adjustment data storage unit 33 via the second communication unit 31, and stored. In the property specification information storage unit 32, property specification information including the identification information of the equipment used for the installed elevator to be monitored is acquired from the elevator control device 10A and stored (S3). Thereafter, the property specification information of the monitored elevator is periodically acquired from the elevator control device 10A.

  Thereafter, in the elevator, the control board in the elevator control device 10A is replaced by renewal, the information in the control software storage unit 11 is changed to new control software information, and some devices in the elevator are renewed. The processing executed when (S4) is performed will be described.

  After the renewal of some devices in the elevator is performed, when the acquisition timing of the property specification information by the remote monitoring device 30A comes, the property specification information including the identification information of the new device after the renewal is obtained from the elevator control device 10A. Then, it is stored in the property specification information storage unit 32 (S5).

  In addition, the maintenance staff inputs the identification information of the elevator to be renewed and the version information of the control software before and after the renewal from the input unit 41 of the maintenance staff mobile terminal 40, and performs an operation of instructing the update of the adjustment data. When input, the input information is transmitted from the third communication unit 42 to the remote monitoring device 30A via the communication network 20 (S6).

  When an instruction to update the adjustment data is transmitted from the maintenance worker mobile terminal 40 together with the identification information of the elevator to be renewed and the version information of the control software before and after the renewal, the renewal device determination unit 34 of the remote monitoring device 30A obtains the information. Is obtained. Then, based on the property specification information stored in the property specification information storage unit 32, the renewal device determination unit 34 determines whether each device in the corresponding elevator is to be renewed or not to be renewed. (S7). That is, devices with different identification information before and after renewal are determined to be renewal targets, and devices with the same identification information are determined not to be renewal targets.

  Here, the renewal device determination unit 34 obtains, from the second adjustment data storage unit 33, the adjustment data of items that are determined to be out of the renewal target, that is, items related to devices to be used continuously. For example, if the landing switch for detecting the landing position of the car is out of the renewal target, stop height adjustment data is acquired, and if the door opening / closing device and the car door are not replaced, door motor adjustment data is acquired. When the hall operation panel is not a renewal target, hall operation panel position data is acquired.

  Then, based on the information acquired from the maintenance personnel mobile terminal 40, the acquired adjustment data is converted from a format corresponding to the version of the control software before the renewal to a format corresponding to the version of the control software after the renewal. Is specified and converted. Hereinafter, a conversion process of the stop height adjustment data will be described as an example of a conversion process of the adjustment data. In the present embodiment, the version of the control software before the renewal corresponds to 16 bytes of data, and the version of the control software after the renewal corresponds to 32 bytes of data.

  The second adjustment data storage unit 33 stores 16-byte information for each floor as stop height adjustment data used in the version of the control software before the renewal. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, “0200” is stored as the stop height adjustment data of the first floor, which is the lowest floor, and the adjustment data of the second floor or more is the control data before the renewal. Calculated based on the pulse rate between floors “1472” obtained from the setting data of the software, and “05E3” is stored as stop height adjustment data for the second floor... As stop height adjustment data for the nth floor “Xxxx” is stored.

  Then, when these stop height adjustment data are obtained and converted by the adjustment data conversion unit 35, first, the stop height adjustment data “0020” on the first floor is converted into a 32-byte “0000 2000” as an offset value. Is converted. Then, the adjustment data of the second floor or more is calculated based on the pulse rate “1000” between the floors obtained from the setting data of the control software after the renewal, and the stop height adjustment data of the second floor is calculated as “ "0000 4000" is calculated as "△△△△ △△△△" as the stop height adjustment data for the nth floor. The calculated stop height adjustment data for each floor is determined from the information on the floor height to determine whether or not it exceeds a predetermined allowable range (eg, ± 200 mm). Then, it is determined that it is necessary to obtain the adjustment data of the item, and the determination result is output to the work content specifying unit 36. If not, it is determined that the conversion process has been performed normally.

  The calculated adjustment data is stored in the second adjustment data storage unit 33 as converted data. Further, the data is transmitted from the second communication unit 31 to the elevator control device 10A (S8), and stored in the first adjustment data storage unit 12 (S9).

  In addition, the contents of the work related to the items related to the device determined to be renewal target in step S7 and the items determined not to be renewal target but determined in step S8 that conversion processing has not been performed normally and adjustment data need to be acquired are required. The specifying unit 36 specifies the corresponding adjustment data acquisition work content, and transmits the adjustment data to the maintenance personnel mobile terminal 40 from the second communication unit 31 (S10). In the maintenance worker mobile terminal 40, information on the contents of the acquisition work of the adjustment data transmitted from the remote monitoring device 30A is acquired from the third communication unit 42, and is output from the first output unit 43 as display or audio information (S11). .

  When the information on the content of the adjustment data acquisition work is output from the maintenance staff mobile terminal 40, the information is recognized by the maintenance staff, and the necessary adjustment data acquisition work is performed. Then, new adjustment data acquired by the renewed device by performing the work is transmitted from the third communication unit 42 to the elevator control device 10A (S12).

  The new adjustment data acquired by the elevator control device 10A is stored in the first adjustment data storage unit 12 (S13), and after the operation is confirmed, the new adjustment data is used by the operation control unit 13 in the subsequent operation of the elevator. .

  According to the above-described first embodiment, when renewing some devices in the elevator, the available adjustment data before renewal is converted and used, so that the adjustment data acquisition work is reduced as much as possible. Work related to the renewal work can be efficiently executed.
