Elevator tension member monitor

The title of the invention is an elevator tension member monitor. An illustrative example embodiment of an elevator tension member monitor includes a photodetector configured to be located proximate an elevator tension member. The photodetector provides an output corresponding to the profile of the elevator tension member. A processor receives the output from the photodetector and determines whether any anomalies are present in the profile of the elevator tension member. The processor reports any determined anomalies in the profile of the elevator tension member. 本发明标题为"电梯受拉构件监测器"。电梯受拉构件监测器的说明性示例实施例包括光电检测器，其被配置成位于电梯受拉构件附近。光电检测器提供对应于电梯受拉构件的轮廓的输出。处理器接收来自光电检测器的输出，并确定在电梯受拉构件的轮廓中是否存在任何异常。处理器报告电梯受拉构件的轮廓中的任何确定的异常。
