Electrical equipment for material flow coordination between a plurality of conveyors, which are mechanically connected to one another, for conveying piece goods

Electrical equipment for material flow comprising:

• a plurality of separate conveyors, each mechanically connectable, one to another, without need for any individual hardware or software adaptations, the conveyors connected for conveying piece goods;
• and
• a plurality of intelligent motor starters connected to one another, each of the motor starters associated with an individual conveyor, the combined plurality providing a conveyor system operable in an autonomous manner, independent of and without any super ordinate controller or bus system while, in the absence of both any such super ordinate controller and any such bus system, piece goods are transferred between two of the conveyors in the conveyor system based on an interchange of signals with one another, wherein the intelligent motor starters function as logic modules, each user programmable to effect material flow coordination between a pair of the connected conveyors.
