The invention discloses a remote fault diagnosis and rescue 
system for an 
elevator, and relates to the technical field of 
elevator control. The remote fault diagnosis and rescue 
system for the 
elevator comprises a sensor group, a 
data acquisition device, a 
multimedia device, a remote monitoring center, a fault case 
library, a fault diagnosis part, a 
user management host, an alarm host, a mobile terminal and a 
maintenance management host, wherein the 
multimedia device is connected with the remote monitoring center. According to the remote fault diagnosis and rescue 
system for the elevator disclosed by the invention, real-time operation data of a remote elevator can be accurately acquired in time through the sensor group and the 
data acquisition device; elevator operation 
data information, elevator maintenance recording information, fault first-aid repair information and audio and video information are looked up through the mobile terminal; the fault case 
library is used for storing historical fault case information of the elevator; through the arrangement of the fault diagnosis part, diagnosis on elevator faults is realized; a two-way voice and one-way video 
intercom function between a faulted elevator and the remote monitoring center is realized through the 
multimedia device; and therefore, support is provided for 
emergency rescue, 
mood of trapped passengers is conciliated, andthe rescue interaction performance is improved.
