The disclosure relates to a method for operating a linear motor system, in particular a long-stator or planar motor system, comprising a stator with numerous drive coils and at least one shuttle carrying drive magnets and moving relative to the stator. An electromagnetic field is generated by energizing selected drive coils to interact with the drive magnets and move the shuttle. To improve efficiency and motion control, a motion control unit determines at least one drive variable from a predefined movement profile and/or target movement values and from actual movement values for a given time step. Based on the drive variable, the motion control unit selects the drive coils to be energized and determines their energization to move the shuttle in a desired motion. An artificial intelligence method is used at least for determining which drive coils are energized and how they are energized, using the drive variable input.
A method for operating a linear motor system comprising a stator, on which a plurality of drive coils is arranged, and comprising at least one shuttle, which moves relative to the stator and on which several drive magnets are arranged, wherein an electromagnetic field, which interacts with the drive magnets of the at least one shuttle for moving the at least one shuttle, is generated by energizing drive coils in an area of the drive magnets of the at least one shuttle, and wherein at least one drive variable is determined for a respective time step from a predefined movement profile and/or a predefined target value of at least one movement variable for the at least one shuttle and from an actual value of the at least one movement variable of the at least one shuttle,
A linear motor system comprising a stator, on which a plurality of drive coils is arranged, and comprising at least one shuttle, which is movable relative to the stator and on which several drive magnets are arranged, wherein an electromagnetic field, which is configured to interact with the drive magnets of the at least one shuttle to move the at least one shuttle, is generated by energizing drive coils in an area of the drive magnets of the at least one shuttle, wherein the linear motor system comprises at least one motion control unit configured to control a movement of the at least one shuttle relative to the stator, wherein the at least one motion control unit is configured to determine at least one drive variable for each time step from a predefined movement profile and/or a predefined target value of at least one movement variable for the at least one shuttle and an actual value of the at least one movement variable of the at least one shuttle, wherein the at least one motion control unit is further configured to determine the drive coils of the stator to be energized and a corresponding energization of the determined drive coils to be energized from at least one drive variable for each time step, to move the at least one shuttle corresponding to the predefined movement profile and/or according to the predefined target value of the at least one movement variable, from the at least one drive variable determined for each time step, and wherein an artificial intelligence method is implemented in the at least one motion control unit, and wherein the artificial intelligence method at least determines the drive coils of the stator to be energized and the corresponding energization of the determined drive coils for each time step from at least one drive variable as an input variable.
