Transport System Layout

Paths

Once all motors have been identified on the QSHT transport system layout, the individual
paths must be defined (see
motors on the path and the direction of forward (downstream) motion.
Paths define the routes for vehicle motion. All paths include one or more motors arranged end
to end. All paths must begin at a node and can end at a second node, depending on the use of
the path. Paths are unique and do not overlap. Each path is provided a unique identifier in the
Node Controller Configuration File. Each motor is identified as belonging to a specific path
and provided a unique identifier in the Node Controller Configuration File.
The node controller that is connected to the upstream end of the path controls the path. Paths
must have a connection to a node controller at their downstream end if a vehicle moves off the
downstream end of the path, either onto another path or onto another type of transport system.
See the QuickStick Configurator User Manual, MMI-UM009, for a detailed description of
paths.
