Host Application: The software on the host controller that provides monitoring and control of the
transport system.
Host Controller: The user-supplied controller for the operation of the transport system. The con-
troller can be either a
PC-Based Controller or a Programmable Logic Control-
ler .
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 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: See Independent Cart Technology .
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
Node Controller .
Inverter: Hardware that converts DC from the propulsion power bus to AC to energize
the coils in a
Motor Block .
Keep-out Area: A unidirectional area of a Path . 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, Propulsion
Power .
LSB: Least Significant Byte.
LSM: Linear Synchronous Motor. See MagneMover LITE and QuickStick .
Master (also Master Controller): The supervisory controller for each motor, it communicates with
the Slaves to direct Motor Block operation and read motor sensors, and it com-
municates vehicle positions and other information to the Node Controller . It is
internal to the motor assembly on MagneMover LITE and QuickStick
®
100
motors. For QuickStick HT motors the master is in the motor controller.
MagneMover LITE: A MagneMotion linear synchronous motor with integrated guideways and
vehicles that enable quick, efficient conveyance of small loads.
