the series and ends at the Downstream end of the last motor in the series. All
Paths must begin at a Node and the beginning of a Path is always the zero posi-
tion for determining vehicle positions along that Path.
PC-Based Controller: The user-supplied computer that provides control and sequencing for the
operation of the transport system.
PE: Protective Earth. A conductor that is provided for safety purposes (e.g. against
the risk of electric shock) and which also provides a conductive path to earth.

PLC: See Programmable Logic Controller .
Position: A specific location on a Path , measured from the beginning of that Path, used
as a vehicle destination. Position zero on any Path is defined as the leading
edge of the first LSM in the Path.
A vehicle at a specific position has its midpoint over that location on the Path.
Power Supply: The equipment used to convert facility AC power to the correct voltages for
the transport system.
Programmable Logic Controller: The user-supplied dedicated controller consisting of Processor
and I/O modules that provides control, sequencing, and safety interlock logic
for the operation of the transport system.
Propulsion Power: The power used for vehicle movement. See also, Logic Power .
Puck: A pre-configured vehicle for use on MagneMover LITE transport systems. See

QuickStick
®
: A MagneMotion linear synchronous motor that enables quick, efficient con-
veyance of large loads using user-designed guideways and vehicles. Quick-
Stick 100 (QS 100) motors move loads up to 100 kg [220 lb] per vehicle and
QuickStick High Thrust (QSHT) motors move loads up to 4,500 kg [9,900 lb]
per vehicle.

System: A group of specific components that contribute to a Transport System . These
components include QuickStick
®
motors, Node Controllers , Motor Controllers
(if applicable), Magnet Arrays , and other parts available from MagneMotion.
Single Vehicle Area: An area of a Path where only one vehicle may move at any time. Other vehi-
cles on the Path must form a queue and wait before entering this area until the
previous vehicle leaves the area. This option allows one vehicle to move back-
ward and forward along a portion of a Path without interfering with any other
vehicles.
Station: A specific location on a Path , measured from the beginning of that Path and
identified with a unique ID, used as a vehicle destination.
Stator: The stationary part of the motor over which the magnet array is moved.
