HLC Control Group:
The portion of a multi-HLC LSM transport system under control of a specific
HLC.
Host Application:
The software on the host controller that provides monitoring and control of the
transport system.
Host Control Session:
A session between a host controller application (such as the NCHost TCP
Interface Utility) and an HLC that allows control of all aspects of transport sys-
tem operation. The Host Control Session also allows active monitoring of
transport system status.
Host Controller:
The user-supplied controller for the operation of the transport system. The con-
troller can be either a
.
Host Status Session:
A session between a host controller application (such as the NCHost TCP
Interface Utility) and an HLC that only provides active monitoring of transport
system status.
ICT:
.
ID:
The software labels used to identify various components of the transport sys-
tem to make sure proper execution of commands involving vehicle position,
vehicle destination, and transport system configuration. ID types include vehi-
cle and path.
Independent Cart Technology:
A programmable intelligent conveyor system that uses linear syn-
chronous motors for moving multiple independently controlled vehicles.
Interlock:
A user-supplied circuit that is used to stop motion in the transport system. It is
wired through the digital I/O on the NC-12
.
Inverter:
The hardware that converts DC from the propulsion power bus to pulse-width
modulated AC to energize the coils in a
for QuickStick HT motors. See
.
Keep-out Area:
A unidirectional area of a
. A vehicle that is moving in the specified direc-
tion of the area is not allowed to enter the area unless it has permission from
the motors to either move past or stop within the area. Once a vehicle enters the
keep-out area in the specified direction, all other vehicles that are moving in
the same direction must wait to enter the area until that vehicle exits.
Logic Power:
The power that is used for the controllers and signals. See also,
.
LSB:
Least Significant Byte.
LSM:
Linear Synchronous Motor. See
.
MagneMover LITE:
A MagneMotion linear synchronous motor with integrated guideways and
vehicles that enable quick, efficient conveyance of small loads.
