Abstract :
A new concept for the application of a linear induction motor (LIM) to passenger elevators is given. A programmable logic controller (PLC) has been implemented to achieve a suitable control of the drive system. A laboratory-scale physical model has been built. To measure the drive performance, a PC based data acquisition system has been used. The experimental test results have been discussed
