An electrical communications architecture for implementation in a conveyor system, and a method of communicating information among components of a conveyor system, are disclosed. The electrical communications architecture includes a central control device, first and second conveyor modules, and an address-based network. The conveyor modules respectively support first and second control devices and associated first and second sensors. The network couples all of the control devices, and each control device has a respective address on the network. Information is communicated between the associated sensors and control devices by way of respective dedicated connections, and information is communicated among the control devices by way of the network. The first control device operates based upon a program including instructions from the central control device indicative of the address of the second control device with which the second sensor is associated, from which the first control device is to receive sensor information.

A method and control system are provided for controlling a modular conveyor system, which may be networked together with other such systems in order to implement a control strategy for a modular conveyor system. The control system comprises a communications port for interconnection of the control system with a network for sending outgoing addressed data to other devices on the address-based network and for receiving incoming addressed data from other devices. The control system further comprises a logic system, which may receive a signal from an object sensor and provide a control signal or output adapted to control activation of a motorized roller assembly, based on an input signal from the object sensor or the communications port. The logic system may provide for single step operation whereby system troubleshooting may be facilitated, and in addition may provide situation aware and output value source selection functionality.

An output module for an industrial controller configurable to simplify setup and commissioning is disclosed. The output module includes configurable PWM outputs that may be scheduled to start at different times within the PWM period, that may be configured to generate a fixed number of PWM pulses, and that may have an extendable PWM period. The output terminals are configurable to enter a first state upon generation of a fault and further configurable to enter a second state after a configurable time delay following the fault being generated. The output module may receive inputs signals directly from another module and set output signals at the terminals responsive to these signals.

An input module for an industrial controller is configurable to simplify setup and commissioning. The input module includes input terminals configurable, for example, as a counter input. Still other input terminals may be configured to trigger events as a function of the input signals present at the terminals. Time signals corresponding to transitions in state of the input terminals, triggering of events, or operation of the counters may be recorded. The input module is further configurable to transmit data back to the processor or to transmit data directly to another module in the industrial control network.

A riding board game controller for sending directional and non-directional control signals to an audio-visual game having a microprocessor-based host computer for sending audio-visual signals to a display device, the riding board game controller comprising: a substantially rectangular platform, pivotally supported along its central longitudinal axis on a playing surface and adapted to support an operator standing thereon, such that side-to-side pivoting of the platform can be performed by the operator; a biasing system, positioned between the platform and the playing surface, for biasing the platform away from the playing surface; a left dual-state switch, positioned between the platform and the playing surface, on the left side of the longitudinal axis, and activated by a pivoting of the platform to the left side; a right dual-state switch, positioned between the platform and the playing surface, on the right side of the longitudinal axis, and activated by a pivoting of the platform to the right side; a center dual-state switch, positioned between the platform and the playing surface, substantially along or near the longitudinal axis, and activated by a movement of the longitudinal axis towards or away from the playing surface; and a signal processor for converting signals from the left and right switches into directional control signals, for converting a signal from the center switch into a non-directional signal, and for sending the directional and non-directional control signals to the host computer.

An input module for an industrial controller includes configurable execution windows. The execution windows are defined by a first parameter and a second parameter stored within the input module. A third parameter defines a status bit which is compared against the execution window to set a window output signal within the input module. The execution window may define a range between the first and second parameters against which the status bit is compared. Alternately, the first and second parameters may define setpoints against which the status bit is compared. At one of the setpoints, the window output signal is set and at the other of the setpoints, the window output signal is reset.
