INTRODUCTION

This LIFT Controller is implemented using PIC Microcontroller 16F877A of Microchip. It has three floors working model. Three request floor switch and three lift position sensor switch are interfaced to microcontroller. The microcontroller is programmed to control the servo motor in both the direction, ie to up or down the lift.All revalent terminals ie ports of microcontrollers to control the lift are brought out with marked. And all port status are indicated by LED. All lift operation status, postions are displayed in 16X2 LCD Display.

Technical specification;
1. Based on PIC Microcontroller 16F877A. 2. For display 16x2 LCD display is used. 4. All control ports used in the lift operation are provided as terminals and well marked. 5. All port status are indicated by LED . 6. Build in regulated 5v powr supply with ON/OFF switch. 7.Build in ICSP ( In-circuit serial programming) terminals provided.

Front Panel control

Operating instructions
1. First connect the patch cords from lift control unit to lift working model, ie interconnect all identically marked terminals respectively. 2. Then apply power to woking model first. 3. Switch on the power supply to control unit. 4. The control unit will first do the self check and it locate the lift postion by moving the lift and brought the lift to ground floor. Till wait for that. If connections are not properly connected, it will message it.Then recheck the connection. 5. Now Lift is ready for the operation. 6. Press any floor request switch, then the lift will move to that floor. And the next request floor or operation is enabled only after the lift reaches the previously request floor. 7. Try different floors, and monitor the port status by LED. 8. IF any hang or halt or inoperation in control, then just switch off the unit, wait for few seconds, then switch on the unit, it wil work.
