Rockwell Automation Publication MMI-UM007F-EN-P - September 2020
HLC Control Group: The portion of a multi-HLC LSM transport system under control of a specific
HLC.
Host Application: The software on the host controller that provides monitoring and control of the
transport system.
Host Control Session: A session between a host controller application (such as the NCHost TCP
Interface Utility) and an HLC that allows control of all aspects of transport sys-
tem operation. The Host Control Session also allows active monitoring of
transport system status.
Host Controller: The user-supplied controller for the operation of the transport system. The con-
troller can be either a PC-Based Controller or a Programmable Logic Control-
ler.
Host Status Session: A session between a host controller application (such as the NCHost TCP
Interface Utility) and an HLC that only provides active monitoring of transport
system status.
ICT: See Independent Cart Technology.
ID: The software labels used to identify various components of the transport sys-
tem to make sure proper execution of commands involving vehicle position,
vehicle destination, and transport system configuration. ID types include vehi-
cle and path.
Independent Cart Technology: A programmable intelligent conveyor system that uses linear syn-
chronous motors for moving multiple independently controlled vehicles.
Interlock: A user-supplied circuit that is used to stop motion in the transport system. It is
wired through the digital I/O on the NC-12 Node Controller.
Inverter: The hardware that converts DC from the propulsion power bus to pulse-width
modulated AC to energize the coils in a Motor Block and contains the Master
and the Inverter for QuickStick HT motors. See Drive.
Keep-out Area: A unidirectional area of a Path. A vehicle that is moving in the specified direc-
tion of the area is not allowed to enter the area unless it has permission from
the motors to either move past or stop within the area. Once a vehicle enters the
keep-out area in the specified direction, all other vehicles that are moving in
the same direction must wait to enter the area until that vehicle exits.
Logic Power: The power that is used for the controllers and signals. See also, Propulsion
Power.
LSB: Least Significant Byte.
LSM: Linear Synchronous Motor. See MagneMover LITE and QuickStick.
MagneMover LITE: A MagneMotion linear synchronous motor with integrated guideways and
vehicles that enable quick, efficient conveyance of small loads.
MagneMover LITE System: A group of specific components that contribute to a Transport System.
These components include MagneMover LITE motors, Node Controllers,
Pucks, and other parts available from MagneMotion.
