CONTROL ARRANGEMENT FOR A TRANSPORT SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a control arrangement for an internal transport system. The transport system comprises a conveyor arrangement carrying the products, work stations and transport stations. The task of the work stations is not only processing the product but also routing and controlling the transport system whilst the transport stations carry out routing and control tasks only. A modular system of work and transport stations is suggested whilst different control and routing functions are each accommodated in one module and the modules can communicate with each other both via an electronic data communication channel and via a physical channel namely by appending information labels to the products.
