A control system for a linear motor conveyor includes a programmable logic controller capable of determining shuttle trajectories of shuttles moving on the track of the linear motor and a computing device that provides different motion control methods for controlling movement of the plurality of shuttles. The different methods include an internal trajectory control that determines the shuttle trajectories and then determines the control data necessary to provide the determined trajectories and a 3rd party trajectory control that receives the shuttle trajectories from the PLC and then determines the control data necessary to provide the received trajectories.
A control system for linear motor conveyor comprising a track over which a plurality of shuttles are controllably moved, the control system comprising:
A non-transitory computer readable memory storing instructions, which when executed by a processor configures a track control computing device to provide a plurality of different motion control methods for controlling movement of the plurality of shuttles, the motion control methods comprising:
