System Testing
Test the MagneMover LITE transport system to verify proper operation of all nodes, paths,
and vehicles. Testing can be accomplished using the MagneMotion NCHost application to
move vehicles without the host controller to verify proper operation before integrating a trans-
port system into a production environment. Create Demo Scripts to perform repetitive testing
throughout the transport system (see the NCHost TCP Interface Utility User Manual,
MMI-UM010, for details). If any problems are encountered, see Troubleshooting on page 371.
1. Make sure that the transport system is fully configured.
2. Make sure that the Node Controller Configuration File is fully defined and has been
uploaded to all node controllers (see the Node Controller Interface User Manual,
MMI-UM001).
3. Make sure that the web interface for each node controller shows a status of run-
ning/valid (see the Node Controller Interface User Manual, MMI-UM001).
4. Issue a Restart Services command for each node controller (see the Node Controller
Interface User Manual, MMI-UM001).
5. Issue a Reset command for all paths (see the Node Controller Interface User Manual,
MMI-UM001).
All motors on the paths in the transport system are reset.
6. Issue a Startup command to all paths (see the Node Controller Interface User Manual,
MMI-UM001).
Motion on all paths is enabled, all vehicles on the paths are identified and located, and
the paths become operational.
7. Verify that the host controller has identified all vehicles in the transport system (see
the NCHost TCP Interface Utility User Manual, MMI-UM010).
8. Move vehicles individually or create a Demo Script for repetitive testing (see the
NCHost TCP Interface Utility User Manual, MMI-UM010).
9. Monitor transport system operation with the NCHost TCP Interface Utility.
PINCH/CRUSH HAZARD
Moving mechanisms have no obstruction sensors.
Do not operate the MagneMover LITE components without
barriers in place or personal injury could result in the squeez-
ing or compression of fingers or other body parts between
moving mechanisms.
