Abstract

An elevator controller 7 is provided with logic 48 which automatically calculates a motor speed loop gain (J*) of an elevator motor controller 14 by running the elevator up and down while computing an average of a model speed reference signal W.sub.MRE for the up/down run and while varying J* and determining the value of J* at which the average of W.sub.MRE equals zero within a predetermined tolerance.
