Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018077918A1] A lift system having a controller for controlling at least one drive and optionally further lift components is described. In this case, the controller comprises a circuit (35) having a switch (21) which is to be monitored and has an input (41) and an output (43), a signal transmitter unit (37) which is designed to apply an AC voltage signal (47) as an input signal to the input (41) of the switch (21) to be monitored, and a monitoring unit (39) which is designed to record an output signal applied to the output (43) of the switch (21) to be monitored and, on the basis of a comparison of the output signal with the input signal, to generate a monitoring signal which indicates a switching state of the switch (21) to be monitored. The switch (21) to be monitored may be, for example, a door switch which is possibly connected in series with other safety switches to form a safety chain. Applying the AC voltage signal instead of a conventional DC voltage signal makes it possible to avoid electrical corrosion in the switch and also makes it possible to increase a reliability of a detected switching state of the switch (21) to be monitored.
