Elevator Access Control System

A special elevator access control unit is used to determine the floors that can be reached based on the door access control credential. For example, all the accountants who work on the 5th floor can reach that floor, but not be able to go to the IT department on the 3rd floor. Floors that contain general areas such as cafeteria or fitness center, would typically be available to everyone. The system can also be programmed to allow certain people, such as the executives to go to any floor.The elevator access security system consists of a door access control reader in the elevator, an elevator control unit, and special elevator control softwareElevator Access Control System Wiring Diagram The elevator control panel integrates with the buttons inside the elevator and the electronics in the machine room. The access control reader in the elevator determines what floors the person can reach. The reader can be a simple RFID type reader or a biometric reader. When the right credential is detected, and the floor button is pressed in the elevator, the signal goes through the elevator control panel, and then to the elevator system that moves the elevator.
