ABSTRACT:
A system for controlling operation of an elevator car door includes a torque command output device for outputting a torque command for controlling a car door driving motor on the basis of a difference between a speed command commanding the operating speed of the motor and the actual speed of operation of the motor, a door position detector for detecting the position of the car door in terms of the number of pulses in a pulse train produced by an encoder connected to the motor, and a memory for storing torque limit values as a function of the door position. The system also has a controller which reads the torque limit value corresponding to the car door position detected by the door position detector. The controller then compares the read torque limit value with a torque command output from the torque command output device and generates a reversing instruction to be given to the motor upon determining that the torque command is not smaller than the torque limit value. An obstruction of the door is sensed as a rise in the torque command so that the car door is reversed to ensure safety.
