1, What is elevator stratification
Elevator stratification is a separate system from the general elevator control solution.
Basically, elevator stratification or elevator stratification system is a security control system for access and use of elevators. With the characteristic of limiting elevator users to certain floors in the building. This means that the user's card will be authorized to go up and down certain floors.
This stratified model is suitable for commercial center buildings with structures that combine commercial centers, shopping areas and residential or office areas. Therefore, the stratified model will allow people who are authorized to go to a new floor to use the elevator to get to that floor. The remaining floors will be disabled (meaning the elevator cannot be called).
It sounds complicated, but once configured and installed, operation will become extremely simple. When using the elevator, users only need to check information at the card reader. If the card is read validly, floor locations that are allowed to move will light up, otherwise it will be the opposite. After that, users just need to select the floor to move to.

3, Equipment in the shopping center elevator stratification system
With the characteristics of commercial building elevators being commonly used in shopping centers and residential areas, Easynet proposes a setup solution for users to be able to use the elevator freely in basements and shopping areas without swiping a card. If you want to go to the floors above the residential area, you must swipe a magnetic card. This way we can ensure the convenience of customers coming to the shopping center. At the same time, it also ensures security and quiet for the residential area.
System elevator stratification is composed of the following components:
– Identification device, also known as card reader. Use card reading devices capable of identifying and reading card information from the elevator.
– Elevator magnetic card is a type of card that has been registered with valid information with identification devices and stratification or authorization codes pre-installed in the magnetic card.
– Central controller: plays the role of management and control between floors of the elevator. They will be connected to the same card reader.
– Elevator cascade controller: is the most important device when it comes to stratification systems. This device helps manage permissions or disallowances to use floors in the building.
Among the devices on the market Soyal elevator cascade controller is the most commonly used.
– Control management software: setup and management of all operations as well as the monitoring and tracking process are all performed on the connected software.
– Other accessory devices such as signal converters, connection wires or buttons...
In addition, the elevator control system combined with an anti-card copying device is a high security solution that many units are interested in and applying.
4, Recommend some outstanding elevator stratification readers
a, Soyal elevator stratifier

Soyal has long been highly appreciated in the Vietnamese market, because its control products meet maximum needs and it also has competitive prices. That, Soyal further affirms its position in the control market.
Card reader models that must be mentioned are: AR-721H, AR-725E, AR-881EF. They are responsible for authenticating users and sending information to floors that are allowed to move to the central stratifier AR401RO.
+ Soyal AR 401RO floor stratifier: responsible for receiving information about floors allowed to move from the main reader and sending signals to the electronic buttons in the elevator cabin.
+ Convertor AR-321CM: with the task of converting RS485 port to USB or using TCP/IP, depending on the main reader types to connect with layer management software.
+ Intermediate conversion device model AR-321L485 or AR-725L485 with the task of converting TTL signals from the main card reader to RS485 signals for Soyal AR401RO.
b, Chiyu elevator controller
Besides Soyal elevator control products, Chiyu is also highly appreciated in the control market. With system Chiyu elevator stratification, recommended devices include:
– Product set includes reader: Semac S3-V3 stratifier, card reader, WG to RS 485 converter, expansion module...
A great advantage of Chiyu stratifiers is that they can be expanded up to hundreds of floors through BF-333 modules. At the same time, it is possible to expand the connection to the fire alarm system so that when there is a fire alarm signal, the elevator will be locked to ensure safety.
