Abstract: A brake system for an elevator system includes a first brake circuit, a second brake circuit and a control unit, the first and second brake circuits each having a brake, and each brake including an actuator and a main spring unit, the actuator being preloaded by the main spring unit in the closing direction of the brake with the force required for applying the braking force. The actuator is activated by a control signal of the control unit to compensate the force of the main spring unit, and thus release the brake. The control unit, upon activation, selects only one of the two control signals between the activation of the first and second brake circuits, such that the ratio of the number of activations of the first brake circuit and the number of activations of the second brake circuit aims for a fixed ratio.

Abstract: A method and a device configures a floor allocation of at least two operating panels of an elevator system having an elevator car and an elevator control unit in a building having at least two floors, wherein a respective one of the operating panels and an elevator door are located on each floor of the building, wherein a door contact unit is arranged on the elevator door, wherein the door contact unit is opened with the elevator door open, and wherein the elevator car moves vertically between the at least two floors. According to the method and device, the door contact unit is connected with the operating panel on each floor. The elevator car is moved to each floor and the elevator door is opened. The operating panel detects the open door contact unit and allocates the approached floor to the operating panel depending on the position of the elevator car.
