Non-PLC-based conveyor controller

A non-PLC-based conveyor controller configured so that a plurality of the non-PLC-based conveyor controllers are connected in series to enable signal transmission between the controllers, comprising:

• a first controller connector that performs transmission and reception of data and an operation signal with respect to a non-PLC-based conveyor controller on a left side;
• a second controller connector that performs transmission and reception of data and an operation signal with respect to a non-PLC-based conveyor controller on a right side;
• an input section through which an object detection signal for an object transported on a conveyor is input from a sensor;
• an output section that outputs a motor driving signal for operating the conveyor;
• a control section that in a case where the object detection signal is input through the input section, transmits an entry prohibition signal to the non-PLC-based conveyor controller on the right side through the first controller connector, transmits a progress signal to the non-PLC-based conveyor controller on the right side through the second controller connector, and outputs the motor driving signal through the output section so that the object is transported to the conveyor controlled by the non-PLC-based conveyor controller on the right side;
• and
• a setting section that sets a serial number of each non-PLC-based conveyor controller, sets a movement direction of whether the controller moves the object to the left or right, and sets which one of a starting position, a middle position, and a last position of the plurality of controllers the position of the controller corresponds to,
• wherein in a case where the control section corresponds to a last controller through the settings of the setting section, and in a case where the object detection signal is received through the input section, the control section stops the output of the motor driving signal, and transmits the entry prohibition signal to the non PLC-based conveyor controller on the left side, and
• wherein in a case where the control section corresponds to a middle controller through the settings of the setting section, in a case where the entry prohibition signal is received from the last controller, and in a case where the object detection signal is received through the input section, the control section stops the output of the motor driving signal, and transmits the entry prohibition signal to the non-PLC-based conveyor controller on the left side.
