Accreditation bodies evaluate ATL organizations to ISO/IEC 17025 for testing
and calibration laboratories.
OSSD: Output Signal Switching Device. The interface of a sensor (such as a light cur-
tain) designed for reliably signaling a safety-related event. OSSD signals are
outputs from the protective device to a safety relay.
Path: A designation for one or more motors placed end to end, which defines a linear
route for vehicle travel. A path begins at the Upstream end of the first motor in
the series and ends at the Downstream end of the last motor in the series. All
paths must begin at a Node and the beginning of a path is always the zero posi-
tion for determining positions along that path.
PC-Based Controller: The user-supplied general-purpose computer that provides control and
sequencing for the operation of the transport system.
PE: Protective Earth. A conductor that is provided for safety purposes (for exam-
ple, against the risk of electric shock) and which also provides a conductive
path to earth. See also, Ground.
Platooning: A set of vehicles that are moving in a convoy and being controlled together.
This group of vehicles is allowed to maintain a distance between each other
while in motion that is less than the Brick-wall Headway.
PLC: See Programmable Logic Controller.
Position: A specific location on a Path, which is measured from the beginning of that
path, which is used as a vehicle destination. Position zero on any path is
defined as the leading edge of the first LSM in the path.
A vehicle at a specific position has its midpoint over that location on the path.
Power Supply: The equipment that is used to convert facility AC power to the correct voltages
for the transport system.
Programmable Logic Controller: The user-supplied dedicated controller consisting of Processor
and I/O modules that provide control, sequencing, and safety interlock logic
for the operation of the transport system.
Propulsion Power: The power that is used for vehicle motion. See also, Logic Power.
Protected Area: The area around a node that is defined by the entry gates and clearance dis-
tances. This area is used to make sure that vehicles do not collide with other
vehicles in the node or with the mechanism that is related to the node.
Puck: A preconfigured vehicle for use on MagneMover LITE transport systems. The
magnet array is mounted to the puck and interacts with the motors, which
move each vehicle independently. See Glide Puck and Wheeled Puck. See also,
Vehicle.
QS: See QuickStick.
QuickStick: A MagneMotion linear synchronous motor that enables quick, efficient con-
veyance of large loads on user-designed guideways and vehicles. QuickStick
