Glossary
Block: See Motor Block.
Bogie: A structure underneath a vehicle to which a magnet array is attached. The
structure is then attached to the vehicle. For vehicles that travel over curves,
the attachment is through a bearing that allows independent rotation.
Brick-wall Headway: The space that is maintained between vehicles to make sure that a trailing
vehicle is able to stop safely if the lead vehicle stops suddenly (“hits a brick
wall”).
Byte: An octet of data (8 bits).
Component: The main parts that form a MagneMotion
®
Transport System. Also called sys-
tem components, these include the High-Level Controller, Motors, Nodes,
Node Controllers, Paths, and Vehicles.
Configuration File: See Node Controller Configuration File.
Configurator: The application that is used to define and edit the basic operating parameters of
the transport system that are stored in the Node Controller Configuration File.
Control Path: The path that is linked to a Peer Path to create a junction. Once linked, this
path remains the Control Path for the life of the junction until the junction tran-
sitions to the unlinked state.
Controller: A device that monitors and controls the operating conditions of the equipment
being monitored. In a MagneMotion transport system, the types of controllers
include the High-Level Controller, Node Controller, and Host Controller.
Couple: The joining of a vehicle into a platoon, where one vehicle follows another
vehicle at a defined distance.
Cycle Length: The distance between the centerlines of two like poles on the magnet array.
Demo Script: A text file that is used with the NCHost TCP Interface Utility for test or
demonstration purposes to move vehicles on the transport system.
Design Specifications: The unique parameters for a specific MagneMotion transport system.
Downstream: The end of a motor or path as defined by the logical forward direction. Vehicles
typically enter the motor or path on the Upstream end.
