System principle and composition
(A) System Principle
The elevator is a large electromechanical product composed of mechanical and electrical close contact, mainly composed of the machine room, shaft, cabin, door system, and electrical control system.
The basic principles are:
- The system summons the elevator to the corresponding floor according to the summoning command (up and down command) outside the cabin and opens the cabin door after the leveling proofreading system confirms that there is no error.
- The external summoning and internal door opening and closing commands can control the opening and closing of the cabin door.
- The floor selection command inside the cabin can control the floor to be reached.
- When arriving at the set floor, open the door after leveling and checking.
- Press the alarm bell when there is an unexpected situation during operation.
- The billboard inside the cabin plays or pauses according to the instruction of the display control system (no announcement is broadcast when it is not moving);
- The control cabinet sets the panel, which can control whether the whole elevator is running and which floors are not available.
(B) System Composition
The system is mainly composed of four parts: outside the cabin display control, inside the cabin display control, display control of control cabinet, elevator integrated control unit. This article mainly completes the display control part inside and outside the cabin.
1. Outside the cabin display control
can be further divided into: “elevator floor display unit” and “elevator summon unit”.
2. Inside the cabin display control
Mainly completing the functions of current floor display, floor selection & cancellation, door opening and closing, alarm, etc.
3. Display control of control cabinet (Show in the next article)
It can control whether the whole elevator is running, which floors are not available, get the current elevator position, continuous running time, elevator load condition; temperature and humidity information inside the elevator; smoke alarm system; condition of the lighting system, etc.
4. Elevator integrated control unit
The operation control center of the elevator, generally use PLC to realize the control of the whole elevator’s electric distribution, power, fire, lighting, etc. This article in order to cooperate with the display control unit to demonstrate the program of MCU to illustrate.

1. Software design of “floor display unit of the elevator”
(1) The development process of HMI
Firstly, create the project and load the required pictures into the project. Here we make a background picture to display the floor and upward and downward information through Ico.
Second, use the TOOL-2019 controls to create, dynamically associated relationships; the main controls are: “Animated icon”, “Variable icon”;
Third, software simulation and compilation to generate executable files.
Fourth, connect the HMI screen to the PC side through debugging tools and download the executable file to the screen.
(2) Software design of the analog control terminal
The software of the simulation end is used to simulate the operation status of the elevator through “+”, “-“, “up”, “down”, and “stop” buttons, and send the corresponding commands to the HMI screen.
Elevator arrives on the 1st floor: A5 5A 05 82 00 05 00 00.
Elevator arrives on the 2nd floor: A5 5A 05 82 00 05 00 01.

2. Software design for “elevator summoning unit”
It is relatively simple to send commands to the control port after displaying the upward and downward touch of the console, the commands are as follows.
Elevator up command: A5 5A 06 83 00 01 01 00 00.
Elevator down command: A5 5A 06 83 00 02 01 00 00.
The function of the MCU emulation port is mainly to handle the serial port to receive commands.

(B)Inside the cabin display control
HMI-Stone uses controls such as “Variable icon”, “Button Key-value return”, “incremental adjustment”, “Text clock”, “Animation icon” and audio properties of the controls in order to realize the function of inside the cabin display control.
(1) Software design of HMI
First of all, make the base map and do the corresponding action effect map for opening and closing the door and alarm, as shown in the following figure.
Place the “Button Key-value return” control at the corresponding location and set its Button effect property to Figure 13 so that when the touch action occurs, the interface at the location covered by the control will display the content of Figure 13 to achieve the effect of a keypress.
To create the effect of floor selection, use the “Variable icon” control and select the image source of the two icons, as shown in the figure below. Then the “incremental adjustment” control is used to cycle through the two images and send the corresponding commands through the serial port.
1st floor selected command: A5 5A 06 83 00 11 01 00 01.
1st floor unchecked command: A5 5A 06 83 00 11 01 00 00.
The same “Variable icon” control is used to create the upward and downward elevator effects, but in a way that overlaps the two controls; each control selects the image source of three icons, as shown in the figure below.
Each first one is blank when going up, control 1 will display 3 pictures in a cycle to simulate the dynamic effect, at this time control 2 shows empty pictures; when going down, control 2 will display 3 pictures in a cycle to simulate the dynamic effect, at this time control 1 shows empty pictures.
(2) Software design of the simulation control
The software for testing the simulation terminal simulates the operation status of the elevator through the “+”, “-“, “up”, “down”, and “stop” buttons, and sends the corresponding commands to the HMI screen.
Up command start: A5 5A 05 82 00 09 00 01.
Up command stop: A5 5A 05 82 00 09 00 00.
Downstream command start: A5 5A 05 82 00 0E 00 01.
Downstream instruction stop: A5 5A 05 82 00 0E 00 00.
MCU emulation port functions, mainly to handle serial port receive commands.

The physical demonstration effect is shown in the figure below:
