Simple, Merge, Diverge, and Relay) and additional functions (for example, E-stop and inter-
locks).
NC-12 Node Controller
Node controller that supports both RS-422 and Ethernet motors with one network port, 12
RS-422 ports, two RS-232 ports, 16 digital inputs, and 16 digital outputs. This node controller
is available with an RJ45 Ethernet connector (see page 58) or an M12 Ethernet connector (see
page 59). This node controller supports multiple nodes (for example, Simple, Merge, Diverge,
and Relay) and additional functions (for example, E-stop and interlocks).
NC LITE Node Controller
Node controller that supports both RS-422 and Ethernet motors with one network port and
four RS-422 ports (see page 62). This node controller typically supports one node (for exam-
ple, Merge). However, some configurations of nodes allow the node controller to support mul-
tiple nodes (for example, Simple and Relay).
