Electric suspension track has safety mode for traversing inclined sections in which a carriage can only progress if there is at least one other carriage close to it on at least one side

摘要

The electric suspension track has horizontal and inclined sections, carriages (2) movable independently along a carrying rail and an operating mode controller (12) that indicates to each carriage when it is about to enter or leave a horizontal section and transmits a corresponding signal to the carriage controller to change it operating mode. Each carriage's controller (S) can be operated in safety mode effective when traversing inclined sections and in which the carriage can only progress if there is at least one other carriage close to it on at least one side
