In an electromagnetic transport system, a transport route is divided into transport sections, each including at least one transport segment. A section control unit is assigned to each transport section, and a segment controller is assigned to each transport segment. A logistics unit, specifies a destination of the transport units to section control units via the logistics network. Section control units are connected to segment controllers of associated transport segments via a segment network and are designed to: determine a track section for the associated transport section from the destination, determine target values using the track section and transmit the target values to the segment controllers via the segment network. Segment controllers supply current to drive coils using target values and occurring actual values to generate a magnetic field which interacts with drive magnets of the transport units to move the transport units.
