Escalator control device and escalator group control device

The invention provides an escalator control device and an escalator group control device. The escalator is constructed in a way that, a plan related to the upper limit value, the operation speed and operation/stop of a passenger load is freely made in each time belt of a day, and in the range of the set upper limit value of the passenger load, and in the time belt capable of rotation, operation control can be performed at a set operation speed. When the passenger load exceeds the upper limit value set by the time belt, a passenger except a particular passenger is forbidden to take the escalator via a broadcasting device (71) and a display device (72). Speed control of the operation speed of the escalator is performed via an inverter (8) according to the made plan, when the time belt of no rotation is reached, the escalator automatically stops operation. Therefore, an energy control device for an escalator is provided, and the device is advantageous in that, under the condition that priority of energy saving a
