Abstract: A detection subject body includes a first detection subject plate provided with an ID sequence and a second detection subject plate provided with a clock sequence. A detector includes a first detection unit that outputs, as an ID signal, a time series signal that switches condition in a boundary position between a first property portion and a second property portion of the ID sequence when the ID sequence passes through a first detection region, and a second detection unit that outputs, as a clock signal, a time series signal that switches condition in a boundary position between a first property portion and a second property portion of the clock sequence when the clock sequence passes through a second detection region. A processing unit specifies a position of the elevating body by reading the condition of the ID signal in a position where the condition of the clock signal switches.

Abstract: In an elevator position detection apparatus, when a first diagnosis switch is closed, a diagnosis coil generates a first induced magnetic field, and when a second diagnosis switch is closed, the diagnosis coil generates a second induced magnetic field that is weaker than the first induced magnetic field. In a constant L output fault diagnosis mode in which the first induced magnetic field is generated, an output value of a measurement signal falls below a threshold regardless of whether or not a detection subject body is present in a detection region. In a constant H output fault diagnosis mode in which generation of both the first and the second induced magnetic fields is stopped, the output value of the measurement signal equals or exceeds the threshold regardless of whether or not the detection subject body is present in the detection region.
