Abstract
The use of complex electronics in the ropeway industry based on the example of a revolutionary development - the fail safe RPD switch. Complex electronics are increasingly used in ropeway engineering to perform control and monitoring functions. Several factors must be taken into account to ensure safe functioning. Disregarding these factors may have fatal consequences, and the speaker wants to show how potential hazards can be correctly identified and classified. Working out the guidelines and regulations which should be binding for all manufacturers in the ropeway industry will be essential if risks are to be reduced. The speaker will discuss the application of these safety criteria on the basis of the newly developed extraordinary RPD switch and explain the function of this new rope position monitoring systems at the same time. With his speech the speaker wants to create better understanding of complex electronics in the ropeway industry and ensure that safety relevant principles are adhered to.
