Safebox S1

SAFETY SYSTEM

Safe positioning and control system

The FST-S1 safety system is a safe positioning and control system for lift systems. It consists primarily of three components: magnetic tape, position sensor and Safebox S1.

MAGNETIC TAPE

The magnetic tape holds the unique position information as a magnetic code. It is mounted free-hanging in the shaft using a mounting kit and guided by means of a plastic guide on the sensor. The measurement is thereby always performed contact-free. The guide serves only to keep the tape within a defined distance to the sensor.

POSITION SENSOR

The position sensor is designed for the FST controller and, together with the Safebox S1 analysis unit, forms a complete system that satisfies the safety functions in the lift in accordance with EN 81-20/50 and EN 81-21.

SAFEBOX S1

Safebox S1 is used to monitor the car positions and speed as well as the shaft and car doors. Important safety-relevant requirements in the lift shaft are thereby ensured. Should a failure occur, the safety circuit opens and/or the safety brake is triggered depending on the event. The hardware components, such as relay contacts and microprocessors, are each present twice to ensure redundancy of all functions. The S1 Safebox can be installed in or on the control cabinet as well as in the machine room or in the shaft. The connection is pluggable, thereby enabling a fast, uncomplicated connection. The S1 Safebox is operated/diagnosed via the CAN interface of the FST-2XTs. The system states are thereby clearly conveyed to the lift engineer via the FST-2XTs graphic display as a complete or partial representation. Operational instructions and information are communicated via the FST Guide to help ensure understandable and fast commissioning as well as diagnostics of the complete system. The S1 and FST status and error messages are centrally stored in chronological plain text messages in the FST error list. This amalgamation of both systems enables optimum operation, diagnostics and transparency, all from a single source.

INTEGRATED MONITORING AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
  • SHAFT POSITIONING SYSTEM
    The S1 shaft positioning system
    replaces the conventional absolute positioning system.
  • SPEED MONITORING AND TRIGGERING
    The absolute position control of the S1 speed monitoring
    enables permanent monitoring in both
    directions of travel.
  • SHAFT DOOR MONITORING (EMERGENCY RELEASE)
    The emergency release is monitored by the S1.
  • PROTECTED SPACE MONITORING
    The protected space alternative measures are monitored by the
    S1. The protective measures are not necessary if a
    “pre-triggered stopping system” is used (option).
  • INSPECTION END SWITCHES
    The need for the classic inspection end switches is
    eliminated through the absolute, reliable position control.
  • EMERGENCY END SWITCH
    The need for the classic emergency end switch is
    eliminated through the absolute position control.
  • DOOR BYPASS
    The car and blocking-agent contacts are bypassed
    for “approach and re-levelling with open door” by the S1.
    The magnet switches and magnets do not need to be installed.
  • LOCKING OF THE INSPECTION DRIVE EQUIPMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EN 81-20
    Per the requirements of EN81-20, the locking of the
    inspection drive equipment of car and pit as well as
    priorities for auxiliary mode control and bypass is performed by the S1.
  • UCM-A3 DETECTION AND TRIGGERING
    No additional UCMA3 sensors
    and analysis units need to be mounted; these functions are performed by the S1.
