Abstract

This project, realized at the company ABER Ltd, describes the process followed for the developing of an electronic control system for a hydraulic elevator. The previous control system was based on relay logic, and the company wanted to change it to a microcontroller based technology. To do so, different approaches were studied and finally the selected technology for the development was the Raspberry Pi. After, the software needed for all the elevator types was developed, and the interface hardware was selected. In the end, several test were made to adjust the software and the hardware and to prove the good operation of the system. Advisors/Committee Members: Silva, Francisco José Gomes da.
