Synopsis
Since each of the elevator motherboards produced in Turkey today uses its own special communication protocol, the panels must be adapted separately to each system, and this leads to serious time and cost loss in the production process. For this purpose, this study aims to ensure that elevator control cards developed by different manufacturers work in harmony with common call and display panels. In this context, a call and display panel compatible with the CANopen Lift (CIA-417) profile, one of the international standards, has been designed. The embedded software infrastructure was created with the CANopenNode open-source library and the system's error analysis was performed with the CAN Analyzer. In addition, the sustainability and usability of the system was increased with the architecture that allows software updates and parameter changes to be made remotely. The prototype developed at the end of the project was tested in pilot elevators and successful results were obtained. With this study, a domestic solution that will reduce Turkey's dependence on imports has been presented. In addition, the way will be paved for CIA-417 compatible panel production.
