Hi everyone,
I’m new to PLC programming, this is my first post. I finished TheLearningPit’s elevator exercise #4 a week ago and it worked. Wow, that was a tough nut to crack (it was for me anyway). After I was done impressing myself; I zipped it up, tossed it in a folder, and moved on with my life.
A couple of days ago I decided to compare it with someone else’s and found very few completed examples out there. I did find an excellent one here on this website.
My question is on the elevator car’s reversal. The requirement states:
Did I complete this or over-engineer the exercise? Please help, I need to know, thanks

My question is on the elevator car’s reversal. The requirement states:
In our multi floor system, the elevator should continue in it's initial direction of travel, stopping at each intermediate floor which has a request pending for that particular direction, and continue in this same direction until the farthest request for service is reached. At this point the direction of travel should then be reversed if further requests are pending. Any requests associated with this new direction of travel should then be serviced.
Did I complete this or over-engineer the exercise? Please help, I need to know, thanks
