The PLC power supply is 24V DC, all the inputs to the PLC
are connected to input ports I1,I2,I3,I4,I5,I6,I7,I8 and all the
outputs to the corresponding output ports Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4. The
inputs and outputs should be used according to their
corresponding addresses while developing ladder logic
program.
V. OPERATIONAL SEQUENCE
The Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 shows the elevator structure
developed with I1, I2 and I3 are ground floor, 1st floor and 2nd
floor call switches; I8 is an emergency switch; I4, I5 and I6
are limit switches used to detect current lift position. The
sequence operation for elevator system is shown in flowchart
of Fig.6 and is describe as follow:
When the person enters in the elevator, light and fan
switched ON automatically.
Desired floors selected by person.
Then the door is closed, motor is switched ON and
brakes released.
The direction of rotation of motor depends upon floor
selected; current elevator position and when the
directions are different then the floor selected first
will get the higher priority.
When the selected floor is reached then the limit
switch of selected floor gets activated and switch
OFF the motor.
Brakes get activated.

VII. IMPLEMENTATION
The PLC and motor control panel is shown in Fig.7 and its
inner view of the control panel is shown in Fig.8. Ladder logic
program is tested for various floor levels, automatic cabin fans
and lights are OFF when no one is inside the lift, braking
applied when motor is OFF, if there is a power cut when lift is
in transition then lift will resume transition when power is
restored. Fig. 9 displayed the front view of the lift.
When there is a call for 1st and 2nd floor, but the elevator is in
ground floor then under this condition the LOGO! Soft
comfort view is depicted in Fig. 10. With LOGO! Soft
comfort provide online mode in which we can easily get the
status of elevator on personnel computer (PC). This system
helps us to easily monitor the condition and status of elevator
system.
