2. Create a MICS file for the path with the Ethernet motors (see Figure 19 and Table 15).
Figure 19: Example MIX File for Ethernet Motors in Loop
The XML tags that are shown in Table 15 are used to define and configure the MICS file.
Upload Configuration Files
1. Upload the revised Node Controller Configuration File to the node controller and
restart the node controller.
2. Upload the MICS file to the node controller and restart the node controller.
3. Upload the Motor Type files for the Ethernet Motors.
