• PROJECT: Elevator design and control simulation using LabVIEW

• AIM: The project design consists of an elevator model which is being controlled by Lab VIEW software, using the digital port of the NI ELVIS development system. The project was designed keeping in mind applications of data acquisition in real time and its real time implementation. It helped in understanding the practical problems that occur in real time implementation and served as a driving force to seek for answers to solve them
• IMPLEMENTATION: The project was implemented on a LabVIEW platform, where a VI program was developed to control an elevator prototype. The elevator prototype was constructed using general purpose hardware and a DC-motor assembly. Photocells were used as sensors to determine the current floor of the elevator car. An interface circuitry was designed and fabricated to make the hardware compatible with the NI ELVIS workstation which was controlled by the LabVIEW program.
