Abstract: To reduce mechanical loading due to guidance of the transport unit of a conveyor installation in the form of a long stator linear motor and nevertheless ensure safe retention of the transport unit on the conveyor track of the conveyor installation in all operating conditions, the normal force (FNn) is controlled with a controller (Rk) for controlling the normal force (FNn). The controller (Rk) determines a normal-force-forming current component (iAnd) of the drive current (iAn) of the drive coils interacting with the transport unit (Tn) so that a resulting normal force (F?Nn) acting on the transport unit (Tn) as the sum of the normal force (FNn), a magnetic force (FMn) in the normal direction (N) caused by the drive magnets, and an external force (FEn) in the normal direction (N) acting on the transport unit (Tn) corresponds at least to a specified retaining force (FNnmin) in the normal direction (N).

Abstract: A motorized drive roller conveyor includes an upstream zone and a downstream zone, with each zone having a drive roller, an idler roller that is driven by the drive roller, and a sensor. The upstream zone and the downstream zone are controlled by a card, which measures a gap between a first item on the conveyor and a second item on the conveyor by beginning a counter when a trailing edge of the first item passes the sensor of the upstream zone and stopping the counter when a leading edge of the second item passes the sensor of the upstream zone to generate a counter value. If the first item is stopped in the downstream zone, the card of the upstream zone causes the drive roller of the upstream zone to advance the second item into the downstream zone for a distance derived from the counter value before stopping the transportation of the second item.
