The invention relates to a control system and control method for lifting transverse movement parking equipment. The system comprises a main control device, an auxiliary control device, a monitoring device and a communication network; the main control device and the auxiliary control device replace a PLC control device of existing lifting transverse movement parking equipment and contain the function of a car carrying board scheduling input device, and management and control on a switching driving device, an equipment area state detection device and a car carrying board or plate frame state detection device are achieved; through the newly added monitoring device and a communication network, and advanced and convenient functions which comprise number plate recognition and car taking by inputting a plate number and other extended functions can be achieved. In addition, all detection or input signals which influence running safety of the equipment immediately trigger hardware logic reaction treatment and are also connected into a microcontroller to conduct further treatment of a software program at the same time, the safety is improved, and the intelligent management and control performance is improved. In the occasion of less quantity of car carrying boards, the main control device and the auxiliary control device can be merged into an integrated control device.
