Abstract
A transport system includes a movable element, a transport unit including a plurality of transport modules, and a control unit configured to control the movable element along the transport unit. A respective transport velocity to transport the movable element is set in each of the plurality of transport modules, and the control unit is configured to generate a control profile for the movable element based on the respective transport velocity set in each of the plurality of transport modules.
Claims14
A transport system comprising:
- a movable element;
- a transport unit including a plurality of transport modules;
- and
- a control unit configured to control the movable element along the transport unit,
- wherein a respective transport velocity to transport the movable element is set in each of the plurality of transport modules, and
- wherein the control unit is configured to generate a control profile for the movable element based on the respective transport velocity set in each of the plurality of transport modules.
A method of controlling a transport system, the transport system including a movable element, a transport unit including a plurality of transport modules, and a control unit configured to control the movable element along the transport unit, the method comprising:
- setting a respective transport velocity to transport the movable element in each of the plurality of transport modules;
- and
- generating a control profile for the movable element based on the respective transport velocity for each of the plurality of transport modules.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores computer-executable instructions for causing a computer to execute a method, the method comprising:
- setting a respective transport velocity to transport the movable element in each of the plurality of transport modules;
- and
- generating a control profile for the movable element based on the respective transport velocity for each of the plurality of transport modules.
