CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A PALLET LOAD TRANSPORT SYSTEM

摘要

A pallet load transport system includes a shuttle car that is supported by and moves along a track between a pick-up location to a deposit location. A control system monitors and controls all operation of the shuttle car, ensuring proper and safe transfer of pallet loads from the pick-up location to the deposit location. Signal from various measuring devices and/or sensors are input into a programmable logic controller. Based on the application of a control logic to the received signals, output signals are generated and sent to a variable frequency drive, which controls the linear movement of the shuttle car along the track through operation of a motor mounted on the shuttle car.
