Track Management

XTS Track Management is part of the XTS software package TF5850 | TwinCAT 3 XTS.

With XTS Track Management, track sections and the movers on them can be exchanged between different XTS systems. An XTS setup can thus be divided into individual, spatially separated track sections. The motor modules and movers retain their full functionality at all times, so that even the moving track sections remain fully usable sections.

XTS Tracks

An XTS Track is a route that can be used by movers and consists of one or more parts. A part can also occur more than once in a particular track or be inserted in several different tracks.

XTS Parts

An XTS part is a contiguous track section into which all motor modules are divided when configuring a system. The smallest possible track section is a motor module. Normally, a part consists of one infeed line, but multiple supplies within a part are also possible.
