An elevator controller is an electronic device that manages all operations within an elevator system. It acts as the brain of the elevator, coordinating everything from motor speed and direction to door operations and floor requests.
Modern controllers process inputs from:
Using this information, the elevator controller determines the most efficient route and executes precise control over movement, speed, and door timing.
The EC10 elevator controller, coupled with EX16 floor extension boards, allows floor access to be restricted based on user credentials. These can include:
You can also assign pre-defined schedules for automated access control based on time and date.
Our elevator controller systems use advanced German technology that enhances reliability and safety. Key capabilities include:
This makes it ideal for commercial buildings, hospitals, hotels, and residential complexes.
The EC10 controller can be integrated into your existing access control systems. That means elevators can become an extension of your building’s security ecosystem—allowing floor access only to authorized personnel.
Example: A company can restrict access to executive floors using fingerprint credentials, ensuring privacy and security.
Sophisticated elevator controllers reduce unnecessary stops and optimize routing, significantly decreasing energy consumption and wait times.

In a post-pandemic world, minimizing touchpoints is essential. Controllers with biometric and proximity-based access help create a completely contactless experience, enhancing hygiene.
Elevator controllers interact with various subsystems to manage vertical motion. Here’s a simplified workflow:
Modern elevator controllers also feature:
| Feature | Traditional Systems | Elevator Controllers |
|---|---|---|
| Access Control | None or limited | Biometric/Proximity Card |
| Floor Scheduling | Manual | Programmable |
| Touchless Operation | Not supported | Fully supported |
| Scalability | Low | High |
| Integration with Security | Not possible | Seamless |
| Energy Efficiency | Low | High |
Setting up your EC10 or similar elevator controller involves:
Pro Tip: Always position the reader at a comfortable height and accessible location to ensure ease of use.
Modern elevator controllers are built with adaptability in mind. You can expect:
These features make your system ready for future smart building technologies and scalable upgrades.
A 20-floor office building recently upgraded to EC10 elevator controllers. Results after 6 months:
This transformation underscores the importance of integrating smart controllers into your building’s infrastructure.
Elevator controllers are more than just convenience tools—they’re critical for safety, security, and operational efficiency in vertical transportation.
Whether it’s controlling access, optimizing energy use, or supporting future integrations, the right controller system can transform your building’s mobility infrastructure.
