Elevator System

Abstract: In order to reliably detect open-door movement at a shorter movement distance (at an earlier point in time)  thereby enhancing safety  and maintaining operational efficiency  an elevator system equipped with an unintended car movement protection  which assesses open-door movement and stops the car if the car moves up or down relative to the landing floor with the car doors and/or landing doors being opened  and is further provided with: a car door switch (43) that detects when car doors are opened and a landing door switch (41) that detects when landing doors are opened  a detection device (21) that detects the velocity and movement distance of the car  a position sensor (30) that detects the reference floor position at each storey  and a safety controller (1) that determines an open-door movement abnormality on the basis of the results detected by the detection device (21) and the position sensor (30) ..
