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).
Clearance Distance: The distance from a node where the trailing edge of a vehicle is considered
cleared from a node.
Component: The main parts that form a MagneMotion
®
transport system. Also called sys-
tem components, these include Motors and Node Controllers.
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.
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.
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.
Downstream Gap: The physical distance from the end of the stator in one motor to the beginning
of the stator in the next motor downstream on the same path. This distance
includes the Motor Gap.
Drive: The remote QSMC motor controller or the QuickStick HT 5700 inverter for a
QSHT motor.
Emergency Off: A user-supplied device that disconnects AC power to the transport system.
