Cabin Equipment and Accessories: Interfaces and Peripheral Modules
Modernizing and servicing user interface systems in passenger elevators requires components with high reliability and full compatibility with control architecture. In our technical offering, we focus on COP (Car Operating Panel) and LOP (Landing Operating Panel) components, which constitute a critical link in passenger communication with the elevator controller. As a provider of solutions for elevator services, we ensure cabin equipment that meets rigorous EN 81-20/50 standards.
Cabin Equipment - FAQ
Assembly requires beam calibration in the X-Y axis and verification of beam interruption response time, according to EN 81-20 standard.
We offer cassettes that work with CANbus standards (e.g. CANopen-Lift), ensuring compatibility with most lift controllers without the need for additional converters.
We provide IP54 standard buttons for high humidity environments and vandal-resistant variants (IK10) with LED lighting.
Integration is done through digital inputs controlled from the crane's main board or directly through a serial bus, depending on the control protocol.
It is crucial to check the line impedance, protocol compatibility (analog/VoIP), and loop power to avoid audio signal distortion.
COP/LOP Interface Modules and Data Transmission
Modern elevator cabin infrastructure relies on efficient serial transmission. At MPPR, we offer dispatch control units designed for CANbus networks (including those compliant with the CANopen-Lift protocol). This allows for a significant reduction in the number of conductors in the traveling cable, resulting in lower failure rates for the entire connection system. Electronic button boards feature a high level of signal redundancy (input/output monitoring), essential for maintaining safety parameters.
Presence Detection Systems: Optical Barriers
A key safety element in the cabin door zone is the light curtain (optical barrier). Our components in this area include:
- 2D and 3D Curtains: Equipped with advanced self-check systems that automatically detect damages to optical beams and transmit error signals to the main controller.
- Controller Units: Modules with relay or transistor outputs, with inspection mode bypass capabilities.
Peripheral Equipment and Communication Systems
In addition to control systems, elevator cabin equipment includes a wide range of peripherals responsible for passenger comfort and safety:
- Voice Communication Systems and Direction Indicators: Audio/video modules synchronized with the cabin position encoder, utilizing serial communication for real-time data updates.
- Service Intercoms and Alarm Systems: EN 81-28 compliant, enabling two-way voice communication with the monitoring unit, equipped with power backup systems (buffer battery).
- Vandal-resistant Components: Piezoelectric buttons and steel panels with high mechanical resistance (IK10 class), designed for installation in high-risk public buildings prone to vandalism.
All components in this category have undergone electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests, crucial in environments with strong interference fields generated by inverters in the machine room. We invite specialists to verify the technical specifications of our components – we are happy to advise on communication register mapping and accessory selection for specific controller configurations of various brands.
