Summary:The present invention relates to a method of and an apparatus for configuring elevator controls that consists in essence of a control processor, an input/output module with connection points for decentralized signal emitters and signal receivers, and of these signal emitters and signal receivers themselves. A method of and an apparatus for configuring elevator controls permit external signal emitters and signal receivers to be connected to freely selectable connection points of an input/output module. For each of the occupied connection points on the input/output module at least one programmable connection configuration module can be assigned which delivers to the control processor via a bus system the requisite information concerning the type and function of the signal emitter or signal receiver connected to the corresponding connection point.
