Paths
Once all motors have been identified on the MagneMover LITE transport system layout, the
individual Paths must be defined (refer to
Figure 3-2 for an example). This includes identify-
ing all motors on the Path and the direction of forward (downstream) movement.
Paths define the routes for vehicle (puck) motion. All Paths include one or more motors
arranged end to end. All Paths must begin at a Node and may end at a second Node based on
the use of the Path. Paths are unique and do not overlap. Each Path is provided a unique iden-
tifier in the Node Controller Configuration File and each motor is identified as belonging to a
specific Path and provided a unique identifier in the Configuration File.
Paths are controlled by the Node Controller connected to the Path’s upstream end. Paths must
have a connection to a Node Controller at their downstream end if a vehicle (puck) moves off
the downstream end of the Path, either onto another Path or onto another type of transport sys-
tem. Refer to the
MagneMover
®
LITE Configurator User’s Manual for a detailed description
of Paths.
