Abstract:
A conveyor controller for being implemented into a conveyor system includes control circuitry and one or more network interfaces for coupling with other conveyor controllers. In one embodiment, the control circuitry configured for detecting whether another conveyor controller is connected and to determine which network interface is used in order to set the direction of the conveyor system. In another embodiment, the control circuitry is configured, to receive configuration data from a conveyor controller connected to a network interface, and to detect if another conveyor controller is and to transmit configuration message to another conveyor controller that includes additional configuration data associated with the conveyor controller. In still another embodiment, the control circuitry transmits configuration data to a replacement conveyor controller upon getting a request from the replacement conveyor controller that has been connected to a network interface.

Claim (Index 14):
A conveyor controller for being implemented into a conveyor system for use with at least a portion of the conveyor system, the conveyor controller comprising:\n control circuitry; a first network interface; a second network interface; the control circuitry, upon receiving configuration data from one conveyor controller connected to a network interface, configured for detecting whether another conveyor controller is connected to another network interface; and if the control circuitry detects that another conveyor controller is connected to the another network interface, transmitting a configuration message to the another conveyor controller that includes additional configuration data associated with the conveyor controller; and if the control circuitry detects that another conveyor controller is not connected to the another network interface, determining that the conveyor controller is a final conveyor controller of a conveyor system.
