Magnet Array: The magnets that are attached to the Vehicle. It is the motor secondary, moved
by the primary in the motor.
Master (also Master Controller): The supervisory controller for each motor, it communicates with
the Slaves to direct Motor Block operation and read motor sensors. It commu-
nicates vehicle positions and other information to the Node Controller and
upstream and downstream motors. It is internal to the motor assembly on Mag-
neMover LITE and QuickStick
®
100 motors. For QuickStick HT motors the
master is in the Drive.

Motion Controller: The user-supplied controller for direct control of vehicles through the LSM
Synchronization option. It is user-supplied and must be a Programmable Logic
Controller. It can reside on the host controller if the host controller is a PLC.
Motor: See LSM.
Motor Block: A discrete motor primary section (coil or set of coils) in a motor that can be
energized independently. This section can contain only one vehicle during
transport system operation.
Motor Controller: The hardware that converts DC from the propulsion power bus to AC to ener-
gize the coils in a Motor Block and contains the Master and the Inverter for
QuickStick HT motors. See Drive.
Motor Gap: The physical distance between two motors that are mounted end to end. This
gap excludes the distance from the end of the stator to the end of the motor
housing.
MSB: Most Significant Byte.
NC: See Node Controller.
Node: A junction that is defined as the beginning, end, or intersection of Paths. The
different node types define their use: Simple, Relay, Terminus, Merge,
Diverge, and so on.
Node Controller: The application in a node controller that coordinates vehicle motions along a
path or paths of motors. The node controller is responsible for the motors on all
paths that begin at nodes that the node controller is responsible for.
There can be multiple node controllers in a transport system each responsible
for a subset of the nodes within the transport system.
Node Controller Configuration File: The XML file unique to the transport system that defines the
basic operating parameters of the transport system. A copy of the Node Con-
troller Configuration File is uploaded to each node controller in the transport
system.
NRTL/ATL: Nationally Recognized Test Lab/Accredited Test Lab.
OSHA recognizes NRTL organizations in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.7 to
test and certify equipment or materials (products).
