Elevator

This project consists on the programming of an elevator by using a Programmable Logic

Controller (P.L.C).
A programming environment is used to perform the program. Its name is Logo Soft
Comfort.
The project structure has 4 floors and 8 buttons to indicate the desired floor. It has also an
emergency button.
The elevator cab has lights which turn on when the doors open.
To achieve basic operations, independent circuits are needed. They are named "Puente H"
and their function is to move the engines in two different directions, left and right. An
engine allows the elevator cab to go up and down and another engine allows the elevator
doors open and close.
If the elevator is requested, it will go to the desired floor and stop on it by using a magnetic
sensor. There is a magnetic sensor in each floor.

The programming must achieve different conditions:

 The first condition is that the elevator must go to the desired floor choosen by the
user.
 The second condition is that the doors should open and close on all floors.
 The third condition is that if several stops are requested on different floors, the
elevator will consider the nearby floor as priority.
 The fourth condition is that when the elevator stops on the desired floor, if the user
doesn't request to go to another floor, the elevator will wait for another instruction within
the following 30 seconds. If the elevator is requested at this time, it will go to the desired
floor. Otherwise, it will go to the ground floor.

To prevent problems, the engine which goes up and downs the elevator cab counts on a
mechanic emergency system in the extremes.
The system function cuts off the engine's supply voltage when it's activated. So, if this
system is activated, the engine won't perform.
There is also an emergency system for the user, which is programmed to send up the
elevator to the ground floor and keep the doors open for 3 minutes.

The P.L.C connections with the buttons, the magnetic sensors, the engines, the mechanic
emergency systems and the independent circuits are made of wiring.
The buttons, the magnetic sensors and the mechanic emergency systems are connected to
the P.L.C inputs.
The engines are connected to the independent circuits and these are connected to the P.L.C
outputs.
