  • Method and device for controlling the brake(s) of a device for transporting people
    Patent number: 6766893
    Abstract: A method and arrangement for controlling the respective brake of a device for transporting people, such as an escalator or a moving pavement in that the control signals for the drive motors and the brake are monitored with the aid of several processors. If functional interruptions occur in the region of the device for transporting people, the brake is applied abruptly. If deceleration values are detected, the brake is relieved in a defined manner and the device for transporting people is thus stopped via the processors within a predetermined time interval.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for regulating the brake(s) of an escalator or a moving walkway
    Patent number: 6520300
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for regulating the brake(s) of an escalator or moving walkway, independently of the load. According to the invention, actual values are supplied to at least one regulator which contains at least one nominal value, the regulator intermittently performs a comparison between the nominal and actual values and controls at least one brake magnet using these values. The brake magnet or magnets in turn regulate(s) the brake(s) in such a way that a predeterminable linear braking deceleration can be achieved, whereby nominal values, in particular, in the form of several temporary deceleration values, are stored in the regulator in nominal value fields or nominal zones.

  • Method for regulating the brake(s) of an escalator or a moving walkway
    Publication number: 20020109404
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for regulating the brake(s) of an escalator or moving walkway, independently of the load. According to the invention, actual values (I) are supplied to at least one regulator which contains at least one theoretical value (S), the regulator intermittently performs a comparison between the theoretical and actual values and controls at least one brake magnet using these values. The brake magnet or magnets in turn regulate(s) the brake(s) in such a way, that a predeterminable linear braking deceleration can be achieved, whereby theoretical values (S), in particular, in the form of several temporary deceleration values are stored in the regulator in theoretical value fields or theoretical zones.
