Discussion

mrrafe Jun 27, 2017:
It's a way to block a summons from a would-be elevator passenger, so that the new request doesn't interfere with an elevator trip already in progress. I don't know what to call it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destination_dispatch Maybe a blocking algorithm? https://www.energieplus-lesite.be/index.php?id=11533#c2307

single automatic control/operation

or SAPB (single automatic push button) control

This suggestion comes from looking at how the various control systems are referred to in English and then trying to find supporting evidence linking the French and English versions.

Automatic Push Button Control (APB)
APB control permits the response of the lift to one call at a time. Once a call is accepted, all other calls are inhibited, until the lift stops or opens its doors, to cancel the accepted call. Car Calls are given a timed response preference over Landing Calls.

Control systems
There are many recognised, and standard, control principles which are applied to suit specific types of traffic. The most common types of control, identified against typical applications, are detailed as follows:
a. single automatic push button (SAPB): only one push button is provided at each landing and the car will only respond to one landing call at a time. When a car call is entered, the car will bypass any subsequent landing calls until it has answered this call.
b. non-directional collective control:
c. down collective:
d. full collective control:

Thanks Alison. Good research and I'll use it, even though it still sounds odd to me. :(

manoeuvre à blocage

La manœuvre à blocage ne permet pas de gérer le trafic de manière efficace. En effet, dans ce cas de figure, chaque appel de la cabine est pris en compte à la suite l'un de l'autre sans mémorisation. L'appel suivant n'est pris en compte que lorsque le trajet précédent est arrivé à destination. Ce système est primaire et heureusement n'est pratiquement plus utilisé.

Manœuvre permettant l’enregistrement d’un seul ordre et interdisant l’enregistrement de tout appel ou envoi pendant la commande satisfaisant le premier
