Abstract – This paper focuses on the design and II. LADDER DIAGRAM
simulation of elevator system using Ladder Diagram.
I. INTRODUCTION

The elevator setup is that there are 3 output lights: G,

2, and 3, these indicate the floor the lift is at. There are 4
buttons: Up at the Ground Floor; UP at Floor 2; DOWN at
Floor 2; and DOWN at Floor 3. There are also 3 buttons
“inside the Lift”: G, 2, and 3.
The operations required for the design of elevator
system are the following:
The elevator operation G to 2 or 3: If a person pushes
the button UP at the ground Floor, (at any time the lift is
not moving), the lift goes to the Ground Floor. If the
person pushes 2 or 3 button, the lift goes there or stays
there. However, if the person pushes the lift G button, the
lift just stays at the ground floor.
The elevator operation 3 to 2 or G: if a person pushes
DOWN button at floor 3, (at any time the lift is not
moving), the lift goes to floor 3. If the person pushes the 2

stays at the third floor.
On the third operation, if we push the UP2 at any
time the lift is not moving, the lift goes to the second floor
and stays there for 5 seconds, then the lift’s B3 is
automatically pressed. In order to accomplish the given
operation, we used an XOR gate so that we can get a true
output when only one of the 2 inputs is ON, and an on
delay timer to set the delay time to 5secs so that the lift
will stay at the second floor before the B3 become

Lastly, if we push the DOWN2 at any time the lift is
not moving, the lift goes to the second floor and stays
there for 5 seconds, then the lift’s G button is
automatically pressed.
