Abstract

Elevators are a crucial vertical transportation system in multi-story buildings, and the use of an appropriate control system can enhance operational efficiency, comfort, and safety. This study aims to design a control system for a 3-floor elevator using a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) OPTA FINDER, which offers advantages in flexibility and ease of programming. The design process involved creating a control system schematic, programming with ladder diagrams, and testing on a small-scale elevator model. The test results demonstrated that the system could operate the elevator with fast and accurate response in detecting floor positions, controlling automatic doors, and responding to emergency conditions. Furthermore, the PLC OPTA FINDER proved reliable in managing elevator system components and facilitating program modifications without requiring hardware changes. This control system also contributes to energy efficiency through optimized motor speed regulation. Thus, the implementation of the PLC OPTA FINDER provides an effective and safe solution for modern elevator control systems.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the impact strength and functional group characteristics, as identified through FTIR spectroscopy, of composite materials reinforced with pineapple leaf powder fibers that have undergone physical property enhancement via alkali treatment (NaOH). A series of processes were conducted to produce the pineapple leaf powder, starting with drying fresh pineapple leaves until they turned brown. The dried leaves were then cleaned and soaked in a 5% NaOH solution for durations of 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 hours to modify their physical properties. After treatment, the leaves were rinsed thoroughly and oven-dried at 60°C for 5 hours. The dried leaves were subsequently ground and sieved using a 150-mesh screen. This study involved two main observations: functional group analysis using FTIR spectroscopy and mechanical performance evaluation through impact testing. A total of 30 composite specimens were prepared and fabricated using a stepwise lamination method, following the ASTM D256 impact testing standard. The results indicate that alkali treatment progressively degraded the hemicellulose and lignin content in the pineapple leaf fibers, significantly enhancing the impact energy absorption of the composite material. However, extended treatment durations adversely affected the fiber quality, leading to structural damage and reduced interfacial cohesion between the composite components.
