Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method and a device for monitoring the operation of a transport device in the form of a stator linear motor having a transport section along which a multiplicity of drive coils are arranged. At least one transport unit is moved along the transport section, wherein drive magnets of the transport unit interact with the drive coils to produce a propulsion force. At least one drive coil is selected as a measurement coil. While the transport unit is moving over the measurement coil, a control unit predefines a variable for the measurement coil in such a way that the present coil current in the measurement coil is regulated. A unit records a time characteristic of the variable while the transport unit is moving over the measurement coil, and evaluates the time characteristic by an evaluation unit.
