† When using RS-422 communication with the motors, limited by the number of RS-422 connections on the
node controller (NC LITE up to 4 connections, NC-12 up to 12 connections, NC-S up to 8 connections).
When using Ethernet communication with the motors, limited by the node controller configuration and pro-
cessor loading (NC LITE up to 5 nodes, NC-12 up to 16 nodes, NC-E up to 36 nodes, NC-S up to 16 nodes),
see the Node Controller Hardware User Manual, MMI-UM013.

path are commanded forward (downstream).
45 vehicles maximum per path when all vehicles on the path are commanded backwards (upstream).

* The limits that are shown are at the typical payloads (contact your Motion Solution Consultant or TechCon-
nect
℠
(rockwellautomation.custhelp.com) for payload guidance). Use of a smaller payload may permit higher
limits. Use of a larger payload may lower the limits.
