AL-E601A ELEVATOR LIFT CONTROL MODULE FOR PLC TRAINER

Product Code: AL-E601A
Product Name: Elevator Lift Control Module for PLC Trainer
Category: PLC Trainers / Industrial Automation Training Equipment

Prepared from the uploaded technical document.

1. Product Overview

The AL-E601A Elevator Lift Control Module is an advanced educational trainer developed for learning Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) programming through a realistic elevator control application. The trainer simulates the operation of a 3-floor plus Ground Floor goods/passenger lift, enabling students to design, program, test, and troubleshoot industrial elevator control logic.

The system provides real-time operation using a geared DC motor, position sensing, floor call buttons, door operation simulation, LED indicators, and seven-segment floor displays. It is intended for practical training in PLC programming, industrial automation, sequencing, interlocking, and safety logic.

2. Educational Objectives

The trainer enables students to:

• Understand elevator automation principles.
• Learn PLC input and output interfacing.
• Develop ladder logic programs.
• Study sequential control systems.
• Implement floor selection algorithms.
• Simulate elevator movement.
• Program lift call and destination logic.
• Study door control operations.
• Implement priority logic.
• Practice troubleshooting techniques.

3. Working Principle

The trainer simulates a multi-floor elevator controlled by a PLC.

When a floor call button is pressed, the PLC:

• Detects the request.
• Determines the elevator direction.
• Drives the geared DC motor.
• Stops accurately at the requested floor.
• Displays the current floor.
• Simulates door opening and closing.
• Accepts new floor requests according to programmed logic.
