The WinMOS®300 Story

DFÜ300

BÖHNKE + PARTNER introduced their remote diagnostic concept as early as 1992. The DFÜ300 program, a DOS program, had a graphic user surface even at that time.

The following functions could be carried out after establishing a connection:

  • Current message and fault retrieval,
  • Pop stack,view, printout, delete,
  • Fault list, view, printout, delete,
  • Trip number, operating hours retrieval,
  • Car position, car movement tracking,
  • View current call distribution,
  • Enter additional calls.

The modern telegram structure was designed with such foresight that it could be adapted to increasing demands up to the present day, making it possible to manage controllers made in 1992 with any WinMOS®300 version.

WinMOS®300

The spread of Microsoft® Windows® as an operating system led to the development of WinMOS®300. At first this was a 16 bit application based on the Borland® OWL, which was later succeeded by the 32 bit version.
WinMOS®300 enabled remote Diagnostics and call acceptance of malfunctions and maintenance messages.

WinMOS®300 Version 4.0

The increasing demand for a customised remote diagnostic system led to the development of WinMOS®300 version 4.0 which is a completely new development based on MFC from Microsoft®.
WinMOS®300 version 4.0 was designed on a modular basis. The implementation of various perfectly matched modules enabled WinMOS®300 version 4.0 to adapt easily to the respective requirements. So, WinMOS®300 Diagnostics version 4.0 served to equip service centres which received fault messages, maintenance calls and lift attendant messages; WinMOS®300 Monitoring version 4.0 was for realtime monitoring of lifts in closed building complexes. Both versions could be extended with modules for circular-calls, the layout plan, the connection to the emergency centres, the automatic alignment between various centres or statistic evaluation.

WinMOS®300 5.0

To be armed for future tasks the old database which ran on dBase IV had to be replaced by a more efficient system. WinMOS®300 version 5 utilises the Microsoft® Access® database.

Meanwhile WinMOS®300 5.x consists of 3 main applications (Diagnostics, Monitoring, Emergency Call), 5 modules, some plugins and webservices.
