XTS system with Track Management

For the position determination of the movers on an XTS system with Track Management, the positions and the object IDs of all parts or all tracks are required to avoid duplicate positions of movers.

If the position determination is only based on the position on a part, Mover 1, Mover 2, Mover 3, Mover 4 and Mover 5 in this example all have the same position of 190 mm. Only by combining PartPosition and PartId is a single exact position determination for each mover possible. Alternatively, the combination of TrackPosition and TrackId can be used to determine the exact position of the movers, since this combination also only exists once in the system.
