# Switch-on unit in a linear transport system

## Abstract

A switch-on unit for a tool of a movable unit of a linear transport system can be fastened to the movable unit. The switch-on unit includes a housing, an energy-receiving coil with energy-receiving electronics, and a movable antenna with communication electronics. The energy-receiving electronics and the communication electronics are disposed on at least a first circuit board within the housing. The housing has an opening for connections of the tool and an installation space for application electronics. A first circuit board has a first interface for the application electronics, with a power supply and communication link. The communication electronics are arranged to receive a first data signal via the movable antenna, to calculate a second data signal from information about a data structure of the first data signal and the first data signal, and to provide the second data signal at the communication link.
