2
The Electrical Elevator
  • a permanent lifting equipment
  • serving two or more landing
  • levels, including a car for
  • transportation of passengers,
  • goods, running al least partially
  • between rigid guide rails.

3
Basic Components
  • Elevator Car.
  • Hoistway.
  • Machine/drive system.
  • Safety system.
  • Control system.

4
1. Elevator Car
  • Elevator Car is the vehicle that travels between
    the different elevator stops carrying passengers.
  • It is usually a heavy steel frame surrounding
    a cage of metal and wood panels. 

5
1.1 Standard car size
  • To prevent overloading of the car by persons, the
    available area of the car shall be limited and
    related to the rated load of the elevator. The
    following table shows the standard car sizes
    related to the elevator rated loads.

6
  •   of passengers rated load /75 
  • Where
  • 75 represents the average weight
  • of a person in Kg. 
  • The value obtained for the
  • number of passengers shall be
  • rounded to the nearest whole
  • number. 

7
  • Car Width (CW) The horizontal dimensions between
    the inner surfaces of the car walls measured
    parallel to the front entrance and at 1m above
    the car floor. Car Height (CH) The inside
    vertical distance between the entrance threshold
    and the constructional roof of the car. Light
    fittings and false ceilings are accommodated
    within this dimension. Car Depth (CD) The
    horizontal dimensions between the inner surfaces
    of the car walls measured at right angles to the
    car width and at 1m above the car floor. 

8
1.2 Elevator Car Components
  • Car Sling, a metal framework connected to the
    means of suspension.
  • The elevator cabin.
  • Mechanical accessories which are 
  • Car door and door operator. 
  • Guide shoes. 
  • Door Protective Device. 

9
2. Hoistway
  • Hoistway is the space enclosed by fireproof walls
    and elevator doors for the travel of one or more
    elevators, dumbwaiters or material lifts. It
    includes the pit and terminates at the underside
    of the overhead machinery space floor or grating
    or at the underside of the roof where the
    hoistway does not penetrate the roof. (Hoistway
    is sometimes called "hatchway" or "hatch".) 

10
  • A simple definition for
  • the hoistway is the shaft
  • that encompasses the
  • elevator car. 

11
  • Note Generally the Hoistway serving all floors
    of the building but in high-rise buildings
    hoistways may be banked with specific hoistways
    serving only the lower floors and others serving
    only middle or upper floors while traveling in a
    blind hoistway until reaching the floors that it
    serves. A blind hoistway has no doors on the
    floors that it does not serve. 

12
2.1 Hoistway components
  • Guide rails for both the car counterweight.
  • Counterweight.
  • Suspension (Hoisting) Ropes (Cables).
  • Landing (Hoistway) doors.
  • Buffers in the pit.

13
2.1.1 Guide Rails
14
2.1.2 Counterweight
  • Counterweight is a
  • tracked weight that is
  • suspended from cables
  • and moves within its
  • own set of guide rails
  • along the hoistway
  • walls.

15
  • The elevator car is balanced by a heavy
    counterweight that weighs roughly the same amount
    as the car when it's loaded half-full.
  • When the elevator goes up, the counterweight goes
    down and vice-versa .

16
Benefits of counterweight
  • Balancing the mass of the complete car and a
    portion of rated load, and it will be equal to
    the dead weight of the car plus about 40 of the
    rated load. 
  • Reducing the necessary consumed power for moving
    the elevator. 

17
  • By using counterweight, the motor needs to use
    much less force to move the car either up or
    down. Assuming the car and its contents weigh
    more than the counterweight, all the motor has to
    lift is the difference in weight between the two
    and supply a bit of extra force to overcome
    friction in the pulleys and so on.

18
  • Since less force is involved, there's less strain
    on the cables which makes the elevator a little
    bit safer.
  • If the motor is using less force to move the car
    the same distance, it's doing less work against
    the force of gravity so the counterweight reduces
    the amount of energy the motor needs to use.

19
  • The counterweight reduces the amount of braking
    the elevator needs to use so it makes it much
    easier to control the elevator car.
  • Imagine if there were no counterweight
    a heavily loaded elevator car would be
    really hard to pull upwards but, on the return
    journey, would tend to race to the ground all by
    itself if there weren't some sort of sturdy brake
    to stop it.

20
  • In a different design, known as a duplex
    counterweight-less elevator, two cars are
    connected to opposite ends of the same cable and
    effectively balance each other, doing away with
    the need for a counterweight.

21
Counterweight components
22
2.1.3 Suspension (Hoisting) Ropes (Cables) 
23
  • Suspension Ropes are Suspension means for car and
    counterweight, which are represented by steel
    wire ropes. 
  • They are used on traction type elevators, usually
    attached to the crosshead and extending up into
    the machine room looping over the sheave on the
    motor and then down to the counter weights. 

24
  • The term Roping system can be defined as the
    arrangement of cables supporting the elevator and
    which has many types or arrangements as follows 
  • Single wrap rope passes over sheave once and
    connected to counterweight.
  • Double wrap rope wound over sheave twice in high
    speed elevators for additional traction.

25
  • 11 roping when rope connected to counterweight
    where cable travels as far as car in opposite
    direction.
  • 21 roping rope wraps sheave on counterweight
    and connects to top of the shaft, rope moves
    twice as far as cab.

2.1.4 Landing (Hoistway) Doors
  • The door that is seen from each floor of a
    building is referred to as the outer or hoistway
    door.
  • This hoistway door is a part of the building
    (each landing).
  • It is important to realize that the car door does
    all the work the hoistway door is a dependent.
    These doors can be opened or closed by electric
    motors, or manually for emergency incidents. 

28
  • Safety devices are located at each landing to
    prevent inadvertent hoistway door openings and to
    prevent an elevator car from moving unless a door
    is in a locked position.
  •  
  • The difference between the car doors and the
    hoistway doors is that the elevator car door
    travels through the hoistway with the car but the
    hoistway doors are fixed doors in each landing
    floor. 

29
2.1.5  Buffers in the pit 
  • A Buffer is a device designed to stop a
    descending car or counterweight beyond its normal
    limit and to soften the force with which the
    elevator runs into the pit during an emergency.
    They may be of polyurethane or oil type in
    respect of the rated speed. 

30
  • There are two principal types of buffers in
    existence 
  • Energy accumulation accumulate the kinetic
    energy of the car or counterweight.
  • Energy dissipation dissipate the kinetic energy
    of the car or counterweight. 

31
The main types of elevator buffers  
32
  • A Spring Buffer is one type of buffer most
    commonly found on hydraulic elevators or used for
    elevators with speeds less than 200 feet per
    minute. These devices are used to cushion the
    elevator and are most always located in the
    elevator pit. 

33
  • An Oil Buffer is another type of buffer more
    commonly found on traction elevators with speeds
    higher than 200 feet per minute.
  • This type of buffer uses a combination of oil and
    springs to cushion a descending car or
    counterweight and are most commonly located in
    the elevator pit, because of their location in
    the pit buffers have a tendency to be exposed to
    water and flooding.
  •  

34
  • They require routine cleaning and painting to
    assure they maintain their proper performance
    specifications. Oil buffers also need there oil
    checked and changed if exposed to flooding

35
3. Elevator Machine and Drive System
  • Driving machine is the power unit of the
    elevator, and usually located at the elevator
    machine room. 
  • The Driving machine used to refer to the
    collection of components that raise or lower the
    elevator.
  • These include the drive motor, brake, speed
    reduction unit, sheaves and encoders. 

36
3.1 Types of Driving Machines
  • 1- Gearless Machine
  • 2- Geared Machine
  • 3- Drum Machine 
  • Look at the figures

37
  • Gearless Machine

38
  • Geared Machine

39
  • Drum Machine

40
3.1.1 Gearless Machine
  • It used in high rise applications whereby the
    drive motor and drive sheave are connected in
    line on a common shaft, without any mechanical
    speed reduction unit located between the drive
    motor and drive sheave. 
  • Their sizes and shapes vary with load, speed and
    manufacture but the underlying principles and
    components are the same. 

41
  • Generally, Gearless machines are used for high
    speed lifts between (2.5 m/s) to (10 m/s) and
    they can be also used for lower speeds for
    special applications. 

42
Gearless Machines Components 
  • Electrical Motor.
  • Traction Sheave or drum.
  • Direct current armature in case of DC motor.
  • Rotor in case of AC motor.
  • Brake.
  • Machine Bedplate.
  • Supporting bearings.
  • Deflector or double warp sheave.

43
(No Transcript)
44
3.1.2 Geared Machine 
  • It used in low and mid rise applications. This
    design utilizes a mechanical speed reduction gear
    set to reduce the rpm of the drive motor (input
    speed) to suit the required speed of the drive
    sheave and elevator (output speed). 
  • Their sizes and shapes vary with load, speed and
    manufacture but the underlying principles and
    components are the same. 

45
  • Generally, geared machines are used for speeds
    between (0.1 m/s) and (2.5 m/s) and are suitable
    for loads from (5 Kg) up to (50,000 Kg) and
    above. 

46
Geared Machines Components
  • Drive motor.
  • Brake.
  • Speed reduction unit or gearbox.
  • Drive sheave.
  • Bedplate.
  • Deflector sheave (if mounted as integral part of
    the bedplate assembly).

47

48
Types of geared machine drive according to
location of installation
  • 1-Overhead traction The drive machine located
    directly over top its hoistway or shaft.

49
  • 2-Basement traction
  • The drive machine
  • located at a basement.

50
  • 3-Offset traction  
  • The drive machine
  • located at the side of
  • the hoistway.

51
  • Note 
  • Basement and offset applications require
    additional deflector sheaves to properly lead
    suspension ropes off the drive sheave and to the
    car top or counterweight. 

52
3.1.3 Drum Machine 
  • It widely used in older passenger and freight
    elevator applications, though now rarely seen
    except for dumbwaiters.
  • A drum design has one end of the suspension rope
    affixed to the inside of the winding drums drive
    sheave, and then allows to rope to reel in or off
    the outer surface of its sheave, depending upon
    the car direction of travel. 

53
3.2 Main Components of machine drive system
  • 1- Electrical Motor
  • 2- Traction (Drive) Sheave
  • 3- Secondary Sheave
  • 4- Deflector Sheave
  • 5- Brake
  • 6- Speed reduction unit or gearbox
  • 7- Machine Bedplate

54
3.2.1 Electrical Motor
  • Electrical Motor is used to raise and lower the
    elevator cab, the direction of motor rotation and
    speed (rpm) are directed and supervised by
    devices located within the elevator controller.
  • The motor component of the elevator machine can
    be either a DC motor or an AC motor . 

55
A) DC Motor
  • DC motors use carbon brushes to control or
    regulate the operational speed of its motor.
  • It is an important maintenance task to
    regularly inspect, repair and replace these
    brushes.
  • Failure to do so in a timely fashion can result
    in equipment mis-operation and lead to
    significant motor damage.

56
  • Advantages of using DC motors
  • Has a good starting torque. 
  • Ease of speed control using a DC generator with a
    variable output or static converters. 

57
B) AC Motor
  • Advantages of using AC motors
  • More regularly used because of its ruggedness and
    simplicity. 
  • More ride quality. 

58
Types of Electrical Traction Drive Systems
  • A- Geared traction control, which includes 
  • Single speed AC motor.
  • Two speed AC motor.
  • Variable voltage AC motor (VVAC).
  • Variable voltage, variable frequency AC motor
    (VVVFAC).
  • Variable voltage DC motor(VVDC). 

59
  • B- Gearless traction drives, which include
  • Variable voltage DC motor (VVDC). 
  • Variable voltage, variable frequency AC
    motor(VVVFAC). 

60
3.2.2 Traction (Drive) Sheave
  • The powered pulley connected to either the
    elevator drive motors output shaft (gearless) or
    to the output side of the mechanical speed
    reduction unit (geared).
  • The circumference of the sheave has a series
    of U or V shaped grooves cut into it , in
    which sit the elevator suspension or hoist ropes.
  • The friction loads created as the suspension
    ropes pass over the grooved surface of the sheave
    causes motion to be transmitted from the drive
    motor to the elevator cab or counterweight. 

61
(No Transcript)
62
3.2.3 Secondary Sheave
  • Pulley that is normally used on gearless
    elevators and is located directly beneath the
    machine or drive sheave.
  • It has a grooved surface over which pass the
    suspension or hoist ropes. 

63
3.2.4 Deflector Sheave
  • Pulley used to offset or direct the vertical drop
    or location of the steel hoist ropes running
    between the elevator car and its counterweight.
  • Where the horizontal distance between the hitch
    point for the car and the counterweight is larger
    than the diameter of the drive sheave, one or
    more deflector sheaves are used to guide the
    hoist ropes. 

64
  • These devices are grooved sheaves that lead
    elevator suspension ropes off the drive sheave
    down to the car top and counterweight.
  • The number and size of deflector sheaves will be
    a function of the elevators size, machine
    placement and roping arrangement.

66
3.2.5 Brake
  • Traction and drum machines are provided with a
    mechanical brake, designed to stop and safely
    hold an elevator.
  • A centrifugal force governor is provided on most
    elevators to guard against over speeding (when a
    car travels in excess of 20 of top speed, the
    governor will activate a safety stop device).
  • Safeties are installed at the bottom of an
    elevator car and occasionally on counterweights
    to provide positive emergency stopping when
    activated by the governor. 

67
  • During typical operation, this
  • brake is electrically lifted or
  • picked against adjustable
  • tensioned springs.
  • In the event electrical power is
  • removed from the brake, these springs ensure it
    immediately drops back against its drum or disk,
    bringing the car to a safe stop.
  • While applied, the brake will securely hold in
    place the elevator and its counterweight.

68
  • Some older elevators have a control design
    whereby the brake is used to decelerate the car
    from full speed to a stop.
  • Modern elevator controls use electrical circuitry
    to slow and stop the car under normal operation.
  • Once the car has stopped, the brake is released
    to hold the car in position.

69
  • However, in the event an elevators safety
    circuit is actuated, the brake is immediately
    applied to stop and hold the car and its
    counterweight, regardless of the type of control. 

70
Brake Components and Configurations
  • The most common form of elevator brake consists
    of a machined drum onto which two curved shoes or
    pads drop onto the surface of the drum.
  • The brake drum or disk is directly coupled to the
    elevator drive shaft. On some machines, the brake
    is an external element whereby the brake arms and
    their shoes are located outside and above the
    rotating drum surface as shown

71
(No Transcript)
72
  • There is one type of gearless machine that has
    its two brake arms applying force against an
    inside or interior rim on the drive sheave as
    shown

73
3.2.6 Speed reduction unit or gearbox
  • The most common type of speed reduction unit
    consists of a hardened steel worm shaft, mated
    with a bronze ring or crown gear (worm-gear set).
  • The mating surfaces of these two elements are
    contained within an oil bath for lubrication.
  • Regular access to the machine to check the level
    of oil, as well as the condition of the oil and
    the ring gear is an important aspect of ongoing
    equipment maintenance. 

74
3.2.7 Machine Bedplate
  • The gear box, motor and brake may be assembled on
    a common bedplate. This fabricated steel
    structure serves to keep all parts in accurate
    alignment and allows one-piece shipment. 
  • Some machines have the motor and brake as an
    integral part of the gear case, removing the need
    for a separate bedplate. 

75
4. Safety system
  • Safety system components
  • 1- Device for locking landing doors (Hoistway
    Door Interlock).
  • 2- Progressive safety gear.
  • 3- Overspeed governor.
  • 4- Buffers.
  • 5- Final Limit switches.
  • 6- Other safety devices and switches.

76
4.1 Device for locking landing doors (Hoistway
Door Interlock).
  • Device for locking landing doors
    Hoistway Door Interlock

77
  • It shall not be possible in normal operation to
    open the landing door (or any of the panels in
    the case of a multi-panel door) unless the car
    has stopped, or is on the point of stopping, in
    the unlocking zone of the door. 
  • The unlocking zone shall not extend more than 0.2
    meter above and below the landing level.
  • The hoistway door locking mechanism provides a
    means to mechanically lock each hoistway door and
    the elevator cannot leave a landing unless the
    doors are fully closed and secured. 

78
  • They are also interconnected electrically to
    prevent operation of the elevator if any of the
    elevators hoistway doors are open. Should the
    doors be forced open, the interlock circuit will
    be broken, causing the elevator to immediately
    stop. 
  • Each landing door shall be provided with a
    locking device satisfying the previous
    conditions. This device shall be protected
    against deliberate misuse. 
  • Landing doors shall be capable of being unlocked
    from the outside with the aid of key , which fit
    the unlocking triangle (Hoistway Emergency Door
    Keys).

79
  • Hoistway Emergency Door Keys permit the unlocking
    of the hoistway door interlock. 

80
4.2 Progressive safety gear 
  • Safety gear is a mechanical device for stopping
    the car (or counterweight) by gripping the guide
    rails in the event of car speed attaining a
    pre-determined value in a downward direction of
    travel, irrespective what the reason for the
    increase in speed may be. 
  •  

81
  • Progressive safety gear retardation is affected
    by a breaking action on the guide rails and for
    which special provisions are made so as to limit
    the forces on the car, counterweight o balancing
    weight to a permissible value.
  • Pair of safety gears is mounted in the lower part
    of car sling and operated simultaneously by a
    linkage mechanism that actuated by overspeed
    governor. 

82
Safety Mechanism
  • The progressive safety
  • gear and the braking
  • device are activated by
  • means of a linkage with
  • a shearing mechanism as
  • shown beside. 

83
Operation of Safety Mechanism
  • Dependent on the direction the safety lever is
    pulled upwards or downwards the movement of the
    lever is transmitted to the shearing mechanism by
    means of a rocker.
  • The grip wedges of progressive safety gear or
    braking device which are linked with the
    safety-gear levers are released from their rest
    position between rail and jaw body which is
    maintained by a spring assembly.
  • The safety-gear lever assembly which is arranged
    in the form of a shearing mechanism ensures that
    the progressive safety gears and/or braking
    device are activated simultaneously and in
    pairs. 

84
Reset
  • The progressive safety gear and the braking
    device are reset by moving the car opposite to
    direction of safety gear operation.
  • (Move car in electric recall mode, or if
    necessary, by releasing the car from the engaged
    position). 

85
Safety switch
  • Safety switch is mounted on the bottom transom on
    the side of the safety-gear.
  • The switch is operated by the movement of the
    safety-gear lever up or down according to
    actuation direction if the car travels at over
    speed.
  • The switch interrupts the safety circuit causing
    machine drive power off. 

86
4.3 Over Speed Governor
87
  • Over speed governor function is to actuate the
    safety gear if the car speed exceeds 115 of its
    rated value. 
  • Usually a cable is attached to the safeties on
    the underside of the car, called the governor
    rope. This rope runs down through a pulley at the
    bottom of the shaft and back up to the machine
    room and around the governor sheave. 
  • When over-speeding is detected, the governor
    grips the cable which applies the safeties that
    wedge against the guide rails and stops the car.

88
  • The over speed governor works on the floating
    principle with a cam curve and roller guided
    rocker. 
  • It is situated either in the machine room or in
    the head room. 
  • Over speed governor is provided by a factory
    adjusted switch activated when the tripped speed
    is reached to disconnect the machine drive
    starting with governor pulley blocking. 

89
4.4 Buffers 
  • A Buffer is a device designed to stop a
    descending car or counterweight beyond its normal
    limit and to soften the force with which the
    elevator runs into the pit during an emergency.
  • They may be of polyurethane or oil type in
    respect of the rated speed.

90
  • There are two principal types of buffers in
    existence A- Energy accumulation accumulate
    the kinetic energy of the car or
    counterweight. B- Energy dissipation dissipate
    the kinetic energy of the car or counterweight. 
  • Polyurethane buffers which are energy
    accumulation type with non-linear characteristics
    are used for lifts that have rated speed not more
    than 1 m/sec. 

91
  • The main types of elevator buffers are
  • look at slides (30,31,32) to get more details.

92
4.5 Final Limit Switches 
  • Final limit switches shall be set to function as
    close as possible to the terminal floors (the
    highest or lowest landing of lifts), without risk
    of accident. 
  • Final limit switches shall operate before the car
    comes into contact with the buffers. The action
    of the final limit switches shall be maintained
    whilst the buffers are compressed. 
  • After the operation of final limit switches, the
    return to service of the lift cannot occur
    automatically. 

93
4.6 Other Safety Devices and Switches 
  • A- Overload Device.
  • B- Door Protective Device such as
    (photo-electric and infrared sensors, safety
    edges).
  • C- Emergency Stop Switch.
  • D- Emergency Alarm Switch.
  • E- Anti-Egress Lock Device.

5. Elevator Control System
  • Elevator Control System is the system responsible
    for coordinating all aspects of elevator service
    such as travel, speed, and accelerating,
    decelerating, door opening speed and delay,
    leveling and hall lantern signals.
  • It accepts inputs like (button signals) and
    produces outputs like (elevator cars moving,
    doors opening, etc.).

96
5.1 Aims of the control system
  • To bring the lift car to the correct floor.
  •  
  • To minimize travel time. 
  • To maximize passenger comfort by providing a
    smooth ride. 
  • To accelerate, decelerate and travel within safe
    speed limits.

5.2 Types of elevator control systems
  • 1- Single Automatic operation
  • First automated system w/o single call button on
    each floor and single button for each floor
    inside car.
  • Called if no one is using it.
  • Passenger has exclusive use of the car until rip
    is complete.

99
  • 2- Selective collective operation
  • Most common, remembers and answers calls in one
    direction then reverses. When trip complete,
    programmed to return to a home landing.
  • 3- Group automatic operation 
  • For large buildings with many elevators which are
    controlled with programmable microprocessors to
    respond. 

100
5.3 Elevator control system components
  • 1. Inputs (sensors, buttons, system controls).
  • 2. Outputs (actuators, bells, displays).
  • 3. Controllers such as
  • a. (Relay based controller electromechanical
    switching)
  • b. (Solid-state logic technology,
  • c. PLC controller computer based technology).

101
5.3.1.A Sensors
  • A.1 Magnetic and/or photo electric 
  • These pick up signals regarding the location of
    the car. This sensor is usually placed on the car
    itself and reads the position by counting the
    number of holes in the guide rail as they pass by
    in the photo-electric sensor or in the case of
    the magnetic sensor, the number of magnetic
    pulses. 

102
  • A.2 Infrared
  • This is used to detect
  • people entering or
  • leaving the elevator.

103
  • A.3 Weight sensor (Over Load Device)
  • This is placed on the car to warn the control
    system if the design load is exceeded. 
  • A.4 PVT (primary velocity transducer) 
  • Velocity of the drive sheave is sensed with this
    encoder

104
5.3.1.B Buttons
105
5.3.1.C System Controls
  • They are used to turn the elevator system on and
    off.
  • They are only accessible from an elevator control
    room.
  • They would typically be used quite infrequently.

106
5.3.2.A Actuators
  • 5.3.2.A.1 Door Opening Device
  • It opens the inner door of the elevator cab and
    the outer door of the elevator shaft
    simultaneously at each floor.
  • 5.3.2.A.2 Electric Motor
  • The controller interacts with the elevator engine
    by sending it a signal that specifies at which
    speed and in what direction the engine should be
    going in.
  • A stop signal is constructed by setting the speed
    parameter of the signal to zero.

107
  • 5.3.2.A.3 Brake
  • Brakes in elevator system are electromagnetic and
    mechanical.
  • The electromagnetic brakes activate automatically
    if there is sudden loss of power or when the car
    is stationary.
  • The mechanical brakes at the sheave itself also
    stop the car from moving when the car is inactive.

108
5.3.2.B Bells
  • 5.3.2.B.1 Emergency Bell
  • It is used to alert people outside of the
    elevator system when someone is trapped inside
    the elevator cab.
  • 5.3.2.B.2 Load Bell
  • It is used to alert the passengers inside the cab
    that there is too much weight in it.
  • The controller interacts with the emergency bell
    and the load bell by sending each one of them a
    signal to ring.

109
5.3.2.C Displays
110
5.3.3 Controller
  • It is a device which manages the visual
    monitoring, interactive command control and
    traffic analysis system to ensure the elevators
    are functioning efficiently.

111
What is the function of the elevator controller?
  • It controls the speed of elevator engines.
  • Processes elevator summons and floor requests
    from passengers.
  • Controls the operation of the elevator doors of a
    cab through communication with door opening
    devices.

112
5.3.3.1 Relay Based Controller (Electromechanical
Switching)
  • A simple elevator with few
  • stops and manual door
  • operation can be served
  • well by a relay controller.

113
5.3.3.2 Solid State Logic Technology
  • It includes both discreet
  • transistors circuits and
  • integrated circuit boards.
  • It gives improved reliability,
  • lower power consumption
  • and easy fault diagnosis than
  • electromagnetic relay technology.

114
5.3.3.3 PLC Controller (Computer Based Technology)
  • Elevator concepts utilizes a
  • special type of industrial
  • computer called a (PLC) or a
  • Programmable Logic Controller
  • to control the logic of more
  • complex jobs.
  • They are very dependable, compact and simple
  • to troubleshoot.

115
5.4 Elevator Control System Sequence Diagrams
  • The elevator control system may be viewed either
    from
  • The point of view of an individual user.
  • or as
  • A system being acted on by many users.
