Abstract (en)

An elevator safety system comprises a controller (10) for controlling a safety mechanism (12) of an elevator; a safety bus (14) connected to the controller (10); and a plurality of strings of safety contacts (32) in communication with said safety bus (14) via a bus node (34). The bus nodes (34) each transmit a signal determining a condition of the respective string (32) to the controller (10) via the safety bus (14) in a digitized form and comprise transmission means (37) for transmitting the digitized condition signals in a time division multiplexed manner. Further, the controller (10) comprises demultiplexing means (17) for demultiplexing the digitized condition signals received via the safety bus (14).
