FPGA Implementation of Elevator Controller
In this modern era, elevators have become an integral part of any commercial or public
complex. It facilitates the faster movement of people and luggage between floors. The elevator
control system is one of the most important aspects in electronics control module that are used
in automotive application. Usually elevators are designed for a specific building taking into
account the main factors such as the height of the building, the number of people traveling to
each floor and the expected periods of high usage. The elevator system is designed with
different control strategies. This implementation is based on FPGA, which can be used for a
building with any number of floors, with the specified inputs and outputs. This controller can be
implemented for an elevator with the required number of floors by simply changing a control
variable in the HDL code. This approach is based on an algorithm which reduces the amount of
computation required, by focusing only on the relevant rules that improves the performance of
the group of elevator system. The elevator controller was developed using Verilog HDL and
was successfully implemented on a Xilinx Artix7 FPGA.
