Elevator system with a multipurpose edge-gateway and method for data communication

Abstract

An elevator system includes at least one autonomous unit for controlling an elevator and a multichannel-edge-gateway that builds communication between the autonomous unit and data resources on an IoT network. The multichannel-edge-gateway has more than one communication channel), wherein these communication channels provide data communicating using the same protocol or different protocols either synchronously or asynchronously. The multichannel-edge-gateway includes a channel assignment that automatically matches one of the communication channels to one of the protocols according to data to be sent from the multichannel-edge-gateway.
