Positioning and control systems
iDiscovery
The iDiscovery is a powerful SIL 3 and EN 81-20/50 compliant position supervisor unit. In conjunction with CEDES’ APS (Absolute Positioning System) it takes over the safety-relevant functions of an elevator, including enhanced inspection functions for elevators with reduced headroom or pit (EN 81-21).
Support Request
This highly integrated system eliminates the need for many individual systems and components currently required by a conventional elevator. In combination, the APS and iDiscovery significantly reduce the cost and complexity of the elevator as well as installation and maintenance time.
