Abstract: A safety network system is constructed by connecting a safety PLC to a safety slave through a safety network. The safety slave obtains safety input informations from a plurality of safety devices connected thereto and transmits information based on the plurality of safety input informations in response to a request from the safety PLC. At this time, the safety slave determines whether or not a safety condition is satisfied based on the plurality of safety input informations, includes two notification modes, that is, a result notification mode in which a result of determination of safety determined by the above determination is transmitted and a detailed information mode in which the plurality of safety input informations are transmitted as they are as aggregated data, and returns a safety response in any of the modes according to a command from the safety PLC. In the result notification mode, the response can be returned at a high speed because an amount of data is small, and, in the detailed information mode, detailed information can be secured.

Abstract: A control system for controlling a position of a mass, such as, for example, a substrate holder in a lithographic apparatus, is presented herein. The control system comprises a first input to receive a desired position of the mass, a second input signal to receive a feedback signal indicative of the actual position of the mass, a control unit that produces a signal indicative of the required control force based on the difference between the desired mass position and the actual mass position, and an estimator unit that calculates an estimated relation between the control force and mass status information indicative of at least one of a position of said mass, a velocity of said mass, and an acceleration of said mass, and a third input to receive a feed-forward signal indicative of the desired mass acceleration. The control system then determines the control force needed to accelerate the mass and move it to a desired position based on the estimated relation and the desired mass acceleration.

Abstract: A movement control system useful for an apparatus comprising a movable member movable between two positions, a motor and a sensor device for producing an output value which changes during the movement of the movable member. The control system drives the motor in a first amount so as to move the movable member from one of the two positions to the other position and thereafter drives the motor in a second amount to move the movable member toward said one position when the output value of the sensor device remains unchanged. When the sensor device produces a changed output value, the system drives the motor in a third amount to move the movable member toward said one position. Subsequently, the system drives the motor in a fourth amount when the output value of the sensor device is different from the output value before the motor is driven in the first amount, so as to move the movable member toward said other position. The system drives the motor in the second amount when the output values are the same so as to move the movable member toward said one position.
