DISK CARRIER AND ITS CONTROL METHOD

A method and apparatus is provided whereby several operations are simultaneously performed when transferring an object to a desired destination by controlling the output of a microcomputer using an elevator system. The method includes the steps of: vertically transferring a vertical transfer device to a predetermined position of the object according to a predetermined first control signal output from the microcomputer; starting to horizontally transfer a horizontal transfer device to the position of the object according to a predetermined second control signal output from the microcomputer and completing the operation of the horizontal transfer device according to a first external control signal; and starting to insert or withdraw the object into or from the destination according to a third control signal output from the microcomputer and completing the operation for inserting or withdrawing the object into or from the destination according to a second external control signal. The operations for each component of the elevator system are performed simultaneously, by controlling the output of the microcomputer according to the first external control signal.
