QSHT Transport System Components
Figure 1-1: Detailed View of QuickStick HT Transport System Components
• Track System – The components that physically support and move vehicles, includ-
ing the support structure, the guideway, one or more QuickStick HT motors, and
mounting hardware.
• Guideway – Used to make sure that the vehicles are maintained in the proper relation-
ship to the motors.
• Straight and Curve – Motors placed end-to-end to provide a continuous path
of motion.
• Switch – (not shown) Three motors that are configured to provide either a
merge of two paths into one or one path that diverges into two.
• Motor – The QSHT linear synchronous motor (LSM).
• Motor Drive – The remote QSMC motor controller or QSHT 5700 inverter.
• Power Connectors – Provides the connections for logic and propulsion power.
• Communications Connectors – Used for motor to motor communications
and for motor drive to node controller communications at path ends.
• RS-422 – 4-wire serial data transmission protocol for point-to-point
connections that uses differential signals to provide noise resistance.
