• Port Width – The length from the center of the magnet array to the left side of the
vehicle (0.031 m to 0.2125 m). Only available when Vehicle Shape is Rectangular is
selected, as shown in Figure 19. The default is 0.0385 m [1.52 in].
If the value entered is larger than the radius of a curve motor, the Configurator displays a
warning similar to the one that is shown in Figure 21. This notice is displayed as a
reminder to verify the spacing of parallel paths to make sure that vehicles do not collide.
• Magnet Array Center Offset – The distance from the physical center of the vehicle
(puck) to the forward edge of the propulsion array. Only available when Vehicle Shape
is Linear is selected, as shown in Figure 18, see the MagneMover LITE Configurator
User Manual. The default is 0.0247 m [0.97 in].
• Vehicle shape – Provides a menu that lists the available shapes for selection of the type
of vehicle. The default is Rectangular.
o Linear – Only the length defines the shape of the vehicle, the width is not considered.
The Propulsion Array Offset specifies the center of the vehicle. This option is the
typical method for setting vehicle length. Typically, vehicles are defined longer than
their physical length to account for their width in curves.
o Rectangular – The width and length define the shape of the vehicle. The width (W
1
and W
2
) and length (L
1
and L
2
) settings specify the center of the vehicle. W
1
+ W
2
=
total width of the vehicle, L
1
+ L
2
= total length of the vehicle. This option is used for
setting wide vehicle length and width.
• Number of Bogies – See the MagneMover LITE Configurator User Manual.
