A control device for an elevator system in which an operating program for the elevator can readily be changed by the addition of a read-only memory containing only instructions needed for modifying control signals computed by a standard program. To the standard computerized control device of an elevator system is added a further read-only memory and a further random access memory. The read-only memory stores programs which modify the computational results produced as a result of executing the standard programs. The computational results produced by executing the standard programs are stored in the added random access memory, there modified as a result of executing the special program stored in the added read-only memory, and then transferred to another random access memory for transfer to the devices which perform the direct control of the elevator cage of the system.
In a control device for an elevator system comprising a central processing unit, a first read-only memory for storing a first set of program instructions for computing output control signals for controlling means for positioning an elevator cage of said elevator system in response to input instructing signals to said central processing unit, an output circuit for communicating said output control signals to said positioning means, a first random access memory for storing output control signals produced as a result of execution of said first set of program instructions immediately prior to said output control signals being communicated to said positioning means by said output circuit, and address and data buses for communicating said first read-only memory, said input circuit, said output circuit, and said first random access memory with said central processing means, the improvement comprising:
