An Innovative Lift Control Board Design and Prototype Production Using CANbus Communication System and STM32 Microcontroller

Abstract

In this study, Önder Group Inc. Design Center, with an innovative approach, designed controllers for the first time, and prototypes were produced for a wide range of goods lifts according to different needs. With the innovative board design, goods lift users can choose parameters such as the number of floors, door types, and lock types from a user-friendly menu to suit their needs. Within the scope of the study, all functions that may be needed were identified, and the hardware structure of the system was determined. By simply changing the defined parameters, the desired goods lift controller can be made ready in a very short time. Time savings were achieved by simply expanding the hardware structure with the design of the CANbus communication system according to the number of floors and stops of the elevators. Thus, a wide range of lifts can be used by simply increasing the number of floor announcer boards and selecting the menu. Additionally, thanks to the designed Wi-Fi plug-in software, operators will be able to monitor the malfunction and operating status of the lift. With this plug-in, technical service teams can intervene immediately in case of malfunction.
