Elevators Setup view, Elevator tab
For an elevator, you configure one relay output for each floor. This relay is typically in the elevator control room (use
an RIO module) and is wired in series with the floor buttons in the elevator car. When the elevator reader is assigned to
an access right, you select the floors associated with that access right. The person with that access right presents a badge.
The relays for the floor(s) they can access come on for a few seconds so they can make their selection. You may assign a schedule
to individual floors such that during daytime hours, the floor can be enabled automatically.

The Elevator Setup view opens when you click on a listed elevator link on the Elevators tab under the Module Setup view. The elevator name appears in the view title, above the control buttons.
