An elevator door control system comprises a door sensor, a door motor control unit, a transmission unit being wired by a cable as part of or all of a transmission path between the door sensor and the door motor control unit, a storage unit to store a change in a binary signal indicating detection of an obstacle in association with a door position at a time of the change in the binary signal. A partially broken state of the cable is determined by evaluating reproducibility of the door position at the time of the change in the binary signal on the basis of the timing of the change in the binary signal and a door position at the time of the change in the binary signal. The partially broken state of the cable caused by repeated bending deformation of the cable can be determined,

A system including one or more processors, one or more non-transitory storage mediums, a data file, and executable instructions. The processor is configured to receive a door close signal from a door close selector and a door open signal from at least one of a door open selector and a door obstructed sensor. The data file is stored in the non-transitory storage medium and includes a door open time duration associated with at least one of the door open signal and the door close signal. The executable instructions are stored in the non-transitory storage medium and is executed by the processor. The executable instructions are configured to generate the door open time duration based on at least one of the door open signal and the door close signal. The processor is configured to output a door open command based, at least in-part, on the door open time duration.

There is disclosed an automatic door installation 10 comprising: a door opening 16; and an optical door sensor comprising: a plurality of transmitters 30 arranged in a transmitter array 22, each transmitter 30 being configured to transmit an optical beam across the door opening along a respective beam path; a plurality of receivers 32 arranged in a receiver array 24, each receiver 32 being configured to generate a receiver output signal based on an intensity of light received. The plurality of receivers 32 are arranged in at least one set of receivers, the receivers of the or each set being linked so that the respective sensor output signals are combined into a compound signal for the respective set.

A method is disclosed of operating an automatic door installation comprising door sensor equipment including a door sensor. The automatic door installation is operable in at least a standard mode, in which the door sensor equipment conducts an obstacle check to determine whether an obstacle is present according to a first obstacle check procedure, and a contingency mode, in which the door sensor equipment conducts the obstacle check according to a different second obstacle check procedure. The method includes the steps of evaluating an operating condition of the automatic door installation; determining whether the operating condition lies within a standard operating range; and operating the automatic door installation in the contingency mode when the operating condition lies outside a respective standard operating range.
