<p>A conveyor system (10) includes a conveyor line (12), a conveyor chain movable along the conveyor line, and an electronic device (14) located at a movable component that moves with the chain along the conveyor line. The electronic device may comprise a locating device (14) operable to generate a locating output indicative of a location of the movable component along the conveyor line. Optionally, the electronic device may comprise a sensing device (22) operable to sense a chain characteristic at the component and to generate a sensor output indicative of the chain characteristic. Data collected by the electronic device may be stored at the device and/or transmitted to a controller of the conveyor line. The controller may be operable to determine the chain characteristic at a particular location of the transmitting device in response to the device output.</p> |
