Elevator Circuit

The document describes a logic circuit to control an elevator door in a 3-story building. The circuit uses inputs for the floor indicator signals F1, F2, F3 and a signal M to indicate if the elevator is moving or stopped. The circuit output OPEN determines whether the door should open based on the input signals.

M is a logic signal that

M F1 F2 F3 indicates when the


elevator is moving
(M=1) or Stopped(M=0)
F1, F2 and F3 are floor
indicator signals that are Elevator Circuit
normally LOW, and they go
high when the elevator is
positioned at the level of that
particular floor OPEN

Now design a logic circuit that controls an elevator door in a three story building.

Solution:
Logics to develop a truth table to design elevator circuit for above figure:

1. We know the elevator can not be lined up with more than one floor at a time, only one of the
floor inputs can be HIGH at any given time. This means , we can consider all those cases in the
truth table where more than one floor input is a 1 are don’t care conditions. So we can put X in the
OPEN output for those cases.

2. When M=1, the elevator is moving, this is no matter that only one of the floor inputs is high at
any given time, the output OPEN must be a 0.

3. When M=0, the elevator is stopped & only one of the floor inputs is high at any given time the
output OPEN must be a 1.

4. When M=0, the elevator is stopped but all inputs are 0 indicates that is not properly lined up with
any floor the output OPEN must be a 0
