 Press 2013Meeting CANopen Special Interest Group Lift 2013-07CANopen Lift Plugfest - 2013-07-02 Die Komponentenhersteller für Aufzüge prüften am 2. Juli 2013 die Interoperabilität ihrer CANopen-Lift-Produkte. 10 Unternehmen aus Dänemark, Deutschland, Frankreich und Schweden waren beim sechsten Plugfest vertreten. Gastgeber des PlugFests war die CiA in Nürnberg. CANopen-Lift in der Praxis - Referenzaufzug an der Hochschule Heilbronn Die Vernetzung von realen Aufzugskomponenten mit CANopen eröffnet neue Möglichkeiten bei der Systemintegration und der Kommunikation mit Drittkomponenten. Bei der Systemintegration und der Entwicklung neuer Komponenten ist ein Referenzmodell hilfreich, gegen das die Komponenten getestet werden. Dieses kann durch Restbussimulation und durch eine reale Anlage umgesetzt werden. In diesem Aufsatz werden beide Möglichkeiten vorgestellt und neue Wege der Systemintegration diskutiert.

Press 2011Meeting CANopen Spezial Interest Group Lift 5-2011On May 11th 2011 a meeting of the SIG Lift took place at CiA office Nuremberg. After a review of the last meeting and the comments to the new version 2.1 of the specification, there was a discussion on the submitted enhancments regarding a tunneling of messages for monitoring tools, virtual inputs for the detection of persons in the lift car and in front of the doors, new parameters for the drive unit, COB-IDs for tunneling the control messages in a group of lifts.
Press 20103rd CANopen Lift plug fest In this CANopen Lift plug fest, CiA members performed several communication stress tests with their devices. The purpose of these devices are still capable to provide CANopen communication services without errors even at extreme bus conditions (up to full busload, up to maximal bus lenght). CiA 417 (CANopen Lift) version 2.0 The CANopen SIG “Lift” released the version 2.0 of the CANopen application profile for lift control systems (CiA 417). The completely re-structured specification is partly incompatible to version 1.0. In particular, the specification for some of the virtual devices such as car drive has been revised significantly. Also some PDO specifications have been updated. The standardized network for lift control systems In general, lifts are becoming more complex. An increasing number of electronic devices are installed in lift control systems so as to be able to satisfy both rising demands in regard to functionality and the requirements set forth in current standards and safety specifications. Embedded microprocessors respond to input signals or sensor data and thus generate output signals or messages, which are determined on the basis of algorithms written in the internal firmware. To make it possible for the electronic devices to work together and exchange internal information or commands they will have to be connected with each other by means of serial networks. CANopen-Safety-Chip CSC02 certified by TÜVThe CANopen safety chip CSC, which was developed and overhauled by a consortium, is now available in a new version CSC02. The TÜV Rhineland Group technical standards authority has released the CANopen safety chip CSC02 for safety-oriented applications up to SIL 3 (safety integrity level) in accordance with IEC 61508 (test report 968/EL 215.02/09). Displays can do much more than showing numbersDisplays can do much more than showing numbers. They support other components of the CANopen bus with memory; they even perform as interface to passengers and service engineers. You probably know all about CANopen and its individual items. You know the benefits and its limits. And now you will learn about one device which appears rather minor in the beginning and will proof to be essential and beneficial for all other components in the end: The display. Any news so far? Standardized networking for elevator components based on CiA-417 Lift Control Technical systems are, in general, becoming ever more complex. Electronic systems – usually equipped with tiny embedded microprocessors – are implementing new functions, increasing convenience or improving system safety and reliability. Responding to signals made provided by sensors or arriving at inputs, these processors employ the algorithms written in the internal firmware to determine what the assembly actually does. The more information available about the system, the broader the basis upon which decisions can be made.
Press 2009CANopen Lift demonstrator in action The CANopen Lift demonstrator was jointly built by CiA members. The lift control prototype with real-life devices demonstrates the interoperability of CiA 417 compliant devices. Last year, the demonstrator was shown on the CiA booth at the Interlift exhibition in Augsburg (Germany). In addition, the demonstrator was exhibited at several German conferences as well as some company-specific events in the Netherlands and Sweden. The modular system has been designed and manufactured by the Swiss company Masora. CANopen Lift demonstrator in actionThe CANopen Lift demonstrator was jointly built by CiA members.
