What Types of Lift Control Systems Do Lift Companies Offer?

Automatic Push-Button Control Systems
Automatic push-button control systems, or APBs, are the simplest type of control system, and tend to be present mostly in older lifts.
APB systems operate on a call-by-call basis. What this means is that, unlike more modern systems, they do not ‘remember’ or store calls; therefore, any button presses made while the elevator is completing a trip will not be remembered, and the lift will only react to the next call made after it stops moving. This slow, cumbersome process is part of the reason why this type of system fell out of favour with lift companies, and was largely replaced by the type listed below.
