3. Continue to connect the remaining motors in the chain with Cat 5 network cables.
4. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 for each chain in the MagneMover LITE transport sys-
tem.
• The motors at the ends of all paths that are connected in a node must be con-
nected through the network to the same node controller.
• The motors at the end of a chain must not have their downstream Ethernet port
connected.
5. Bundle and dress all cables (use nylon cable-ties) as required to keep all cable routing
clean.
6. See Facilities Connections on page 302 for external communication connections.
Network Communication
See the Node Controller Hardware User Manual, MMI-UM013, for the network connection
locations on the node controllers. See Figure 5-46 for a simplified diagram of the network
wiring.
NOTE: Make sure that the network for the transport system is a dedicated, separate subnet to
minimize any unrelated network traffic.
1. Connect a Category 5 (Cat 5) cable for network communication to the node controller.
• For an NC-S node controller, connect from a dedicated standard network
switch to NET0 (auto-MDIX and auto-negotiation are supported). Route the
cable so it is shielded from damage and can be easily accessed for service.
• For an NC-E node controller, connect from a dedicated standard network
switch to the lower Network port (auto-MDIX and auto-negotiation are sup-
ported). Route the cable in the cable chase so it is shielded from damage and
can be easily accessed for service.
NOTICE The NC-S node controller does not support
Power over Ethernet (PoE). Never connect
these node controllers to a PoE network as
damage to internal components can result.
