Application 2024-03-06

What is an elevator call button?

Elevator Controls and Indicators - Archtoolbox Call Buttons are used to request an elevator. They are mounted 42" above the finished floor and consist of an up button and a down button that illuminate to indicate the request has been received and an elevator is on the way.

Elevator calling button operating panels are adding new features and capabilities including capacitive touch human machine interface (HMI), people counting and wireless communication. 

Design requirements

Modern elevator calling button operating panel designs require:

Noise-tolerant capacitive touch HMI.

Display interface is an LED or LCD/TFT display may be included to display the floor location or provide additional information such as weather, date, time and advertisements. An LCD driver and a backlight LED driver may be used in systems that use displays. This part of the design requires the use of Shift registers, which include the following products:

3. Description

The SN74HCS595 device contains an 8-bit, serialin, parallel-out shift register that feeds an 8-bit D-type storage register. All inputs include Schmitttrigger architecture, eliminating any erroneous data outputs due to slow-edged or noisy input signals. The storage register has parallel 3-state outputs. Separate clocks are provided for both the shift and storage register. The shift register has a direct overriding clear (SRCLR) input, serial (SER) input, and a serial output (QH') for cascading. When the output-enable (OE) input is high, the storage register outputs are in a high-impedance state. Internal register data and serial output (QH') are not impacted by the operation of the OE input.
