The invention discloses an elevator control system and method. The elevator control system comprises a functional baseplate, a main control module, a communication interface module, a data storage interface module, a human-computer interaction interface module and an input-output interface module, wherein the main control module, the communication interface module, the data storage interface module, the human-computer interaction interface module and the input-output interface module are integrated on the functional baseplate; the main control module is in separable connection with data storage equipment through the data storage interface module, is in separable connection with human-computer interaction equipment through the human-computer interaction interface module, is in separable connection with input equipment and output equipment through the input-output interface module, and is in separable connection with an elevator movement control module and external communication equipment through the communication interface module; the elevator movement control module is connected with an elevator movement control system; and the elevator movement control system is connected with an elevator car. Through adoption of the elevator control system and method, control burdens on the elevator movement and safety control parts are relieved, the expansibility is higher, and elevator update, maintenance and upgrade are facilitated.
