Abstract
A conveyor system includes successive modules forming a conveyor segment, each module includes a control device associated with, and controlling, at least one zone. Each control device includes a communication device for communicating with the control devices included in the adjacent modules. The control devices execute a mechanism for propagation and enrichment of quantitative segment information, from the two end zones of the conveyor segment, thereby providing for each zone: a first quantitative segment information item (propagated and enriched from upstream to downstream and relating to all of the zones in an upstream sub-segment located upstream from the zone) and/or a second quantitative segment information item (propagated and enriched from downstream to upstream and relating to all of the zones in a downstream sub-segment located downstream from the zone). Each control device dynamically adapts the behavior of each zone it controls, according to the available quantitative segment information.
