Abstract: An elevator car control apparatus is disclosed in which a three-phase AC tachometer generator is coupled to a motor for driving an elevator car, and the AC output of the tachometer generator is full-wave rectified for use as a speed feedback voltage. A waveform-shaping circuit generates one pulse for each cycle of the output of the AC tachometer generator. A counter counts such pulses after the car has passed a deceleration-initiating point, thereby producing the number of counts proportional to a car running distance after the passage of the deceleration-initiating point. From this number of counts, a deceleration command voltage decreasing progressively in accordance with car positions is obtained by a decoder and a digital-analog converter. During deceleration, the car-drive motor is subjected to feedback control in accordance with the difference between the speed feedback voltage and the deceleration command voltage, thus effecting deceleration control of the elevator car.
