1. Product Overview

The AL-E601B 4-Storey Elevator Lift Control Module is an advanced industrial PLC-based training system designed to simulate the operation of a modern four-storey elevator. The trainer enables students to develop, test and troubleshoot PLC programs used in elevator automation systems.

The trainer accurately replicates the mechanical and electrical operation of an industrial elevator using a geared DC motor, belt and counterweight mechanism, motorized door, limit switches, digital and analog I/O interfaces, speed control, floor indication system, and programmable PLC interface.

The system is suitable for practical training in PLC programming, industrial automation, mechatronics, process control, sequential logic, and motion control.

2. Educational Objectives

The trainer enables students to:

• Study elevator automation systems
• Learn PLC programming using Ladder Logic
• Understand sequential control techniques
• Implement elevator call scheduling
• Program floor selection logic
• Study motor control applications
• Understand speed control systems
• Learn sensor interfacing
• Implement safety interlocking

3. Working Principle

The elevator trainer simulates the operation of a Ground + 3 Floor elevator controlled through a PLC.

When a floor call button is pressed:

• The PLC receives the request.
• Elevator direction is determined.
• Motor starts through the power amplifier.
• Elevator travels to the desired floor.
• Position sensors detect arrival.
• Mechanical brake locks the car.
• Motorized door operation is simulated.
• Floor position and travel direction are displayed.
• Internal and external requests are processed according to programmed priority.
