Resumen
The main objective of this work is the analysis and application of fuzzy control techniques in order to define the attribution of elevator priorities for attend ing the hall calls. This work considers a DCS (Destination Control System), which provides the control system with an a-priori knowledge of the desired floor for each hall call. Also, it makes use of industrial automation ar chitectures for implementing the elev ator group control system (EGCS). The elevator group dynamics was implemented using a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) emulator and a hall call gen eration system. This is responsible for creating a list of times when the hall calls are expected to occur based on probabilistic techniques. Additionally, an OPC (OLE for Process Control) client soft ware was developed, which can be used for reading and feeding back all the dynamic information of the elevators.
