Method for controlling a linear transport system, and linear transport system

Abstract

The invention relates to a method (200) for operating a linear transport system (100), wherein the method has the steps of: actuating a first energy transmission coil (123) of a motor module (117) of the stationary unit (103) using an operating voltage (U) in order to generate an alternating magnetic field by means of a control unit (119) of the linear transport system (100) in an actuation step (201), a synchronization signal (S) being integrated into the operating voltage (U); reading a voltage (U_ind) induced by the alternating magnetic field in the second energy transmission coil (125) of the at least one movable unit (101) and detecting the synchronization signal (S) by means of a sub-control unit (121) of the movable unit (101) in a reading step (203); and carrying out a synchronization process between the control unit (119) of the linear transport system (100) and the sub-control unit (121) of the movable unit (101) on the basis of the synchronization signal (S) by means of the sub-control unit (121) of the movable unit (101) in a synchronization step (205). The invention also relates to a linear transport system (100).
