Positioning and control systems
iDiscovery
It also includes enhanced inspection functions for elevators with reduced headroom or pit (EN 81-21). The system features a pure electronic overspeed governor to trip an electrically activated safety gear.
This highly integrated system eliminates many of the individual systems and components currently required for a conventional elevator. Combined with APS, iDiscovery significantly reduces elevator cost and complexity, as well as installation and maintenance time.
The configuration of safety-relevant parameters is performed with configuration clips that are mounted with the APS code tape. This allows to configure the safety parameters of the device in the field on the job site. The configuration can also be changed in the field. The use of the configuration clips in combination with the floor indicator clips allows for a fully automated teach process.
