Conveyor Device

Conveyor device for conveying conveyed objects (40) along a conveyor line comprising

• a first conveyor zone (100, 2100) which constitutes a first segment of the conveyor line and which has a first conveyor drive (101, 2101) for generating a driving or braking force on a conveyed object (40) located in the first conveyor zone,
• a first control unit (102, 2107) which is connected to the first conveyor drive (101, 2101) in terms of signaling and is designed to control the first conveyor drive (101, 2101) with first conveyor parameters selected from:
• first conveying speed,
• first conveying acceleration or conveying deceleration,
• first conveying duration
• first conveying duration,
• a second conveyor zone (200, 2200) arranged within the conveyor line downstream of the first conveyor zone (100, 2100) and constituting a second segment of the conveyor line, and having a second conveyor drive (201, 2201) for generating a driving or braking force on a conveyed object (40) located in the second conveyor zone (200, 2200),
• a second control unit (202, 2108) connected in terms of signaling to the second conveyor drive (201, 2201) and adapted to control the second conveyor drive (201, 2201) with second conveyor parameters selected from:
• second conveying speed,
• second conveying acceleration or deceleration
• second conveying duration,
• a signal transmission path (70) between the first and second control units (102, 2107;
• 202, 2108),
• characterised in, that
• the first control unit (102, 2107) is designed to receive a conveyor signal from the first conveyor zone (100, 2100) detected during the conveyance of a conveyed object through the first conveyor zone, to process the conveyor signal and to determine therefrom a first parameter of conveyed object describing the conveying behavior of this conveyed object in the first conveyor zone and to transmit this first parameter of conveyed object to the second control unit (202, 2108) via the signal transmission path (70), and
• the second control unit (202, 2108) is designed to receive the first parameter of conveyed object from the first control unit (102, 2107) via the signal transmission path (70) and to set at least one of the second conveyor parameters as a function of this first parameter of conveyed object and to convey the conveyed object with this second conveyor parameter in the second conveyor zone (200, 2200).
