Abstract: A controller for a linear drive system includes compensation of a reference signal as the mover approaches a commanded position along a track. The compensation value is added once as the vehicle approaches the commanded position, adjusting the reference signal. This compensation allows the controller to resolve to a zero reference signal at the same time the vehicle reaches the commanded position. The amount of compensation required may be automatically determined for a particular vehicle to reduce or eliminate overshoot as the vehicle approaches a station. Initially, no compensation is provided and the controller monitors settling error as the vehicle approaches a station. The compensation value is then incremented and the controller again monitors settling error as the vehicle approaches a station. The controller compares the new settling error to the prior settling error and adjusts the compensation value accordingly.
