Diploma in Electrical Engineering Industrial Instruments III Lecturers: Dr. M.E. Migabo and Mr AM Dlamini Module Year Project Form Year 2024 Proposed Design Project title Design and Implementation of a PLC-based 5-levels Elevator System Aims of the Project The aim of this design is: To design and implement a smart elevator system with high temperature detection and fan cooling. To solve a real-life problem of office-access request by means of a well-designed electronic device. To apply in a single project, theoretical knowledge gained through various electronics, electrical and communication modules. To learn and apply the process and methods of managing a technical project, its proposal, documentation, and presentation. Project Scenario Brief As buildings in urban areas become taller and taller, elevator systems become important to assist users to move from one building floor to another. Elevators are therefore part of our every days life, and we spend significant amount of time inside. They, therefore, need to be maintained quite convenient for users. This project designs and implements by means of PLC device a 5-levels smart elevator system capable to work conveniently with appropriate indications and automated emergency handling mechanisms.
