  • Patent number: 9944497
    Abstract: A transport-monitoring module for monitoring a transport of a transport unit of a passenger-transportation device is arranged on the transport unit. The transport-monitoring module has a sensor and localization devices. During the transport, through an interface unit, a connection with a data memory of the device is created. The interface unit is configured so that transport-monitoring data that are to be stored, which are based on sensor data of the sensor and localization data of the localization devices, are permanently stored in the data memory. In this way, the transport-monitoring module is simplified, so that it is no longer an item that is worth stealing. In addition, a reliable access to the stored transport-monitoring data after the end of the transport is secured.

  • Patent number: 9908747
    Abstract: An escalator or a moving walkway has at least one interior space that is delimited relative to the environment of the escalator or the moving walkway by at least one cladding component. The at least one cladding component includes at least one multi-layer composite steel plate, wherein the at least one composite steel plate has at least one load-bearing layer of low-alloy steel and at least one cover layer of corrosion-resistant steel. The at least one cover layer is arranged at one of two side surfaces of the at least one composite steel plate. The at least one cover layer of the at least one cladding component when mounted on the escalator or the moving walkway is oriented towards the environment.

  • Publication number: 20170279397
    Abstract: A passenger transport system includes a three-phase drive motor, a control device and an inverter module having power semiconductor switches. The gate electrodes of the power semiconductor switches are driven directly by the control device. The inverter module is connected on the input side to a DC source and on the output side to the three-phase drive motor. Between the DC source and the inverter module there is a DC circuit, wherein drive signals that can be modulated on the DC circuit can be generated by the control device, and the inverter module has a demodulator, by which demodulator the drive signals can be converted into control voltages assigned to the individual gate electrodes of the power semiconductor switches.
