Design and Test of Express Elevator Control System

Abstract

In order to meet the increasing requirements for express elevator control system and its intelligence and security, ARM chip is applied to construct hardware platform of elevator's main-board in this paper. BootLoader and the uCLinux are transplanted to this platform, and CAN-Bus and other related drivers are designed. A single elevator's operation algorithm is presented to achieve the elevator control logic. And the store and access of parameters of elevator are accomplished by real-time SQLite database. The main high-speed counting circuit is designed based on CPLD while the auxiliary one is based on AVR MCU, which guarantee the stability and reliability of the system. The operational results in elevator simulator verify the feasibility and efficiency of the control system.
