PURPOSE: To smoothly perform rescue work by providing a recording part recording a ratio data of distance per one pulse of a fault elevator position detection pulse to an intra-cage position detection pulse and a correction processing part correcting a position data of a fault elevator by a correction data.

CONSTITUTION: A trouble is generated in an adjacent cage, when it is stopped in a position with no gate, an elevator control device 1 receives a rescue operation command 1b inputting a position data 2a of a fault cage to a position data correcting part 10, and this position data, being based on a ratio data in a recording part (memory) 13, is converted into an intra-cage pulse rate input to an elevator control part 8. Next being based on this result data, the elevator control part 8 controls the intra-cage to be placed aside the fault cage. As a result, even when a difference is provided between the two sets of elevators in their position detection pulse rates, rescue operation can be smoothly performed.
