Abstract
A method and a system for controlling an elevator that does not change the torque direction, such as an elevator without counterweight. The elevator has an alternating-current electric motor (M), such as a permanent magnet motor or an asynchronous motor, and a motor drive section (DRIVE) for controlling the motor and an elevator control section (ECO) used to control the operation of the elevator. Control channels are provided between the elevator control section and the motor drive section for the transmission of control signals. To control the motor, only position and torque control signals are passed between the elevator control section and the motor drive.
