According to an aspect, there is provided a method for setting up an
elevator safety
system, the
elevator safety
system comprising an
elevator system component, an
actuator for causing a change in the status of the
elevator system component, a data
bus (114, 124), a safety controller (104) configured to communicate via the data
bus (114, 124), a sensor configured to indicate a change in the status of the
elevator system component, and an
elevator system node (108A-108C, 110A-110F, 120A-120I) associated with the sensor configured to communicate via the data
bus (114, 124), wherein the elevator system node (108A-108C, 110A-110F, 120A-120I) is configured to communicate a change in the status of the elevator system component to the safety controller (104) via the data bus (114, 124). The method comprises causing, by the
actuator, a change in the status of the elevator system component; detecting, with the sensor, a change in the status of the elevator system component; communicating with the elevator system node (108A-108C, 110A-110F, 120A-120I) the
changed status to the safety controller (104) via the data bus (114, 124); and linking, in a memory of the safety controller (104), an address associated with the elevator system node (108A-108C, 110A-110F, 120A-120I) with an identifier of the elevator system component.
