• For an NC LITE, typically connect to either J1 or J3. Tighten the connector
mounting screws to 0.34 N•m [3 in•lb] – do not overtighten.
NOTE: When using an NC LITE, a custom cross-over adapter can be used
when connecting the upstream end of a path to one of the even
(downstream) ports on the node controller.
• Record the node controller IP address from the transport system layout and the
port number from the node controller for entry into the Node Controller Con-
figuration File.
2. Connect a communication cable from the communication connector at the down-
stream end of the motor to the communication connector at the upstream end of the
next motor in the path. Tighten the connector shell finger tight only – do not over-
tighten. Route the cable in the cable chase so it is shielded from damage and can be
easily accessed for service.
3. Continue to connect the remaining motors in the path with the communication cables.
4. Connect an external communication cable from the communication connector at the
downstream end of the last motor in the path to an RS-422 connector on the node con-
troller if that path ends at a node (for example, a Relay Node, switch, or Terminus
Node). Tighten the connector shell finger tight only – do not overtighten. Route the
cable in the cable chase so it is shielded from damage and can be easily accessed for
service.
• For an NC-S or NC-12 node controller, connect to any RS-422 port. Tighten
the connector shell finger tight only – do not overtighten.
• For an NC LITE, typically connect to either J2 or J4. Tighten the connector
mounting screws to 0.34 N•m [3 in•lb] – do not overtighten.
NOTE: When using an NC LITE, a custom cross-over adapter can be used
when connecting the downstream end of a path to one of the odd
(upstream) ports on the node controller.
• Record the node controller IP address from the transport system layout and the
Port number from the node controller for entry into the Node Controller Con-
figuration File.
5. Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 for each path in the MM LITE transport system.
NOTE: The motors at the ends of all paths that are connected in the same node must
be connected to the same node controller.
6. Bundle and dress all cables (use nylon cable-ties) as required to keep all cable routing
clean.
7. Make sure that each node controller is properly grounded.
8. See Facilities Connections on page 302 for external communication connections.
