    The purpose of this project is to build automated elevator control for a model where a Programmable Logic Controller is in charge of the system. We want this system to explain the advantages of automation in elevator systems and provide hands-on learning methods to grasp the fundamentals of industrial control. Automatic elevator systems need to function properly in cities and commercial spaces. PLCs function as energetic control elements that process data efficiently to connect devices and produce safe results. The integration of a PLC in the model offers an experience that being close to the actual ones allows to evaluate the possible improvements in the service. It can also act as a medium between education and the workplace to prepare students for future jobs in automation and control. It is based on its educational advantages, the promotion of technical thinking throughout the development of the practical activity and the skills of the participants in the context of the work process. Also, the emulation of systems and the issue of safety are complementary energetic aspects that add value in education and training in the field. The elevator model is initialized with a PLC in charge of controlling the actions around the cabin such as going up, going down, stopping at the required floors and reacting to user responses. These are position sensors which inform the PLC of the exact location of the elevator.
