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.
A designation for one or more motors placed end to end, which defines a linear
route for vehicle travel. A path begins at the

sequencing for the operation of the transport system.
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.
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

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.
The equipment that is used to convert facility AC power to the correct voltages
for the transport system.
and I/O modules that provide control, sequencing, and safety interlock logic
for the operation of the transport system.
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.
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
