Abstract

The invention relates to a material handling system and to a method of controlling the material handling system. The material handling system includes a conveying surface with a plurality of individually controlled zones and a plurality of motors with at least one of the motors propelling the conveying surface at each zone. A plurality of motor controller circuits adapted to control the plurality of motors and an upper-level control circuit in communication with the plurality of motor controller circuits is adapted to send communications to the motor controller circuits for controlling at least one motor. An integrated control card defining the upper-level control circuit and the plurality of motor controller circuits, wherein the upper-level control circuit and the plurality of motor controller circuits are integrated onto the integrated control card.
