This project involves the design and implementation of a control system for an elevator using Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and Arduino microcontrollers. The system facilitates movement between four floors using a series of inputs from buttons and sensors, managing the elevator's motor operations based on state transitions and sensor readings.
The project covers the 0,1,2 floors, and the initial state is 1st floor.
- PLC and Arduino Integration: Utilizes both PLC and Arduino to achieve precise control over elevator mechanics.
- State Machine Logic: Implements a detailed state machine for handling elevator position and movement commands.
- Input Handling: Processes inputs from floor request buttons and floor presence sensors to direct elevator movement.
- Motor Control: Manages elevator motor operations with forward/reverse and stop/start functionalities.
- PLC system capable of handling multiple inputs and outputs.
- Arduino microcontroller for additional processing and control.
- Buttons for floor requests and sensors for detecting the elevator's current floor.
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Floressek/Lift_siemens.git
- Set up the hardware connections as per the schematics provided in the schematics directory.
- Upload the Arduino sketch found in the
srcdirectory to your Arduino.
After setting up the system:
- Press the designated button to request the elevator to move to a desired floor.
- The system reads the input and checks the current elevator state to decide the direction and motion of the elevator.
- Detailed wiring diagrams and state transition diagrams are available in the
docsfolder.
