New construction of pneumatic residential elevator system

الملخص EN

The current paper presents a new construction of an Electro-Pneumatic (EP) elevator system fully automated with Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) technology.

This elevator represents as a new concept derived and evolved from the pneumatic-vacuum elevator as the idea of vacuum air is changed by the pressed air.

The elector-pneumatic elevator is capable of transporting people between floors without using any cables, counter weight, or pulleys.

An elevator system prototype constructed with three floors to elevate a 5kg payload with 1bar pressure had been proposed and controlled via a PLC controller of (LS-GLOFA-G7M-DR20A), 8 inputs, and 12 outputs.

The PLC was programmed with Ladder diagram software.

The idea of the proposed elevator system may be predicted to be widely spread in the low-rise residential buildings .
