Since I have no previous knowledge and have not seen an example of an elevator ladder diagram before I am lost at what the hell I am doing.

I tried making an elevator yesterday in LogixPro and I put a start and stop switch at the top rung and a timer along with motor at the output of that rung then I made 2 more rungs representing two floors of my building and put a timer input then a pushbutton on each rung input and coils at the outputs. So I am really confused at the order of the rungs and if there is a mandatory way to go about placing specific inputs in a certain order rung-wise or if you can use any rungs you want. I mean I see that most motors and coils in the text are on that top rung, but I saw somewhere online that someone put a motor on the 3rd rung too. I am assuming they all go on different rungs and on top of that my text and the professor doesn't tell me at which level on a ladder diagram are motors supposed to always be placed. I have no idea where to put the inputs for each floor of the elevator. My professor tells me to create an elevator ladder logic Program in LogixPro and we just started using this program last week.

I too am trying to learn about elevators and I ran across your post. I too am new at learning PLC's, but I haven't asked a question on this forum because I read some peoples' answers and they seem to know it all and just want to call beginners lazy and stupid, so I hope you get an answer man. However it's seems very complicate for me, so if anyone has example of elevator (or any other except silo simulator) to share I would greatly appreciate it. I downloaded logixpro and thinking to buy it. I'm student and just stat to learn abou PLC. Hi, guys I wonder if anyone of you have a ladder diagram for elevator simulator in logixpro.
