Abstract: A planar drive system has at least one stator assembly with a plurality of coil groups for generating a stator magnetic field, a stator surface above the stator assembly, and first and second rotors. The rotors each have a plurality of magnet units for generating a rotor magnetic field. The rotors can be moved above the stator surface in first and second directions, with the aid of an interaction of the stator magnetic field with the rotor magnetic field. A connection can be formed between the rotors with the aid of a coupling device. A controller is arranged to output control signals to the stator assembly. The stator assembly is configured to energize the coil groups on the basis of the control signals so that movements of the rotors, coordinated with one another with respect to the coupling device, are carried out with the aid of the stator magnetic field.

Abstract: A planar drive system includes a stator module and a rotor. The stator module has a stator assembly with at least one coil arrangement that can be energized to generate a stator magnetic field above a stator surface, and a magnetic field sensor. The rotor has a magnet arrangement and can be moved above the stator surface via interaction between the stator magnetic field the magnet arrangement. The rotor can be used as an input device or output device, or both. A controller can compare the position of the rotor magnetic field detected with the sensor to the position expected based on energization of the coil arrangement, to determine any deviation of the expected position as an external movement, and to recognize an input thereby. The controller can control an output via a predetermined movement of the rotor, and to energize the coil arrangement so the rotor moves as defined.

Abstract: A method for transmitting energy from a stationary unit of a linear transport system to a movable unit of the linear transport system. The linear transport system includes a movable unit and at least one further movable unit, a guide rail and a linear motor. The movable units include energy-transmitting coils. The following steps are carried out by a controller: determining that the movable unit requires an amount of energy to carry out an application that cannot be provided via energy transmission between energy-transmitting coils of at least one stationary unit to the at least one energy-receiving coil, and outputting control signals to at least one stationary unit for positioning the further movable unit in a transmission position on the guide rail immediately in front of or behind the movable unit, and for coupling energy-transmitting elements of the further movable unit to energy-transmitting elements of the movable unit.
