Abstract
A transport system for linear movements includes at least two sensors configured to determine a position of one or more carriers along a carrier track. Each of the sensors are interconnected with each other and arranged in a daisy-chained manner along the carrier track. The sensors create a position sensor bus configured to transmit a digital position sensor signal. The transport system further includes a motion controller connected to the sensor bus and configured to control at least one position of the carriers along the carrier track.
