The iFCS control software serves as the brain of the FTS Intelligent Maglev Conveyor System, providing advanced control logic and algorithms that enhance efficiency, stability, and intelligence. By enabling precise scheduling and motion control, iFCS elevates conveyor technology beyond simple material transport, allowing for synchronized and dynamic movement. This software empowers the FTS system to operate seamlessly in modern manufacturing environments.

In complex production environments, manufacturers face challenges such as growing flexibility, increasing transport efficiency, and reducing costs. iFCS addresses these challenges with advanced proprietary algorithms and highly adaptable parameterization function. Whether handling frequent product changes or tight production schedules, iFCS ensures smooth, uninterrupted operation to help manufacturers meet their goals.

The iFCS control software offers a range of powerful features to meet the needs of different scenarios, such as manual and automatic operation modes. With virtual simulation function, customers can test and optimize cycle time in a digital environment. The software supports the standard PLCOPEN protocol interface, enabling independent control of each mover and offering extensive opportunities for secondary development. In addition, the workstation scheduling function can be freely configured to meet customized production needs. Key functionalities include:

Dynamic Addition and Removal of Movers: Movers can be added or removed online without stopping production, minimizing downtime and ensuring continuous operation.

Smart Collision Avoidance: The proprietary collision control algorithm automatically adapts to fixture or product sizes, ensuring precise motion curve without interference. Independent collision control for various mover sizes and advanced planning algorithms enhance system safety.

Flexible Adaptation: iFCS supports thrust control mode, enabling it to handle different product sizes and meet diverse production requirements.

Fast Deployment: Built on the PLCopen protocol, the planning module of iFCS simplifies secondary development. It supports enabling/disabling single mover and convenient single-axis (single mover) control, making it easy for users to deploy the system quickly.

Synchronization with External Workstation: The ability to synchronize with external workstations is one of the most standout features of iFCS. The software supports electronic gears and cam motions, allowing precise synchronization with external workstation (e.g. X and Y axes). This functionality can significantly reduce investment in external machinery. Ultra-precise synchronization improves production efficiency and reduces errors and losses, stabilizing the entire production process. This feature is widely used in processes like dispensing in the 3C industry, laser welding in automotive automation, and battery pack welding.

Configurable Safety Zones: Using safe signal control, the system can stop movers within specific track sections while allowing the rest of movers to continue, improving both safety and flexibility.

With its advanced algorithms and real-time control capabilities, iFCS continues to enhance the FTS Intelligent Maglev Conveyor System. As industries accelerate their shift toward smart manufacturing, FTS is expanding its applications, helping manufacturers streamline production, improve efficiency, and drive digital transformation. Meanwhile, FHS Group continues refining iFCS with ongoing updates, enhancing its flexibility and performance to support the advancement of smart manufacturing.
