• MagneMotion Information and Configuration Service (MICS) File – An XML file
(MICS_motor_data.xml) that contains the network topology parameters for the trans-
port system when using Ethernet communication with the motors. The file includes the
MAC address of each motor and the location of each motor on a path. The MICS file is
uploaded to all node controllers in the transport system.
• Restricted Parameters File – An XML file (restricted_parameters.xml) that provides
access to restricted configuration elements for specific transport systems. The
Restricted Parameters file is uploaded to the HLC. For the development of a custom
Restricted Parameters file for a specific transport system, see Rockwell Automation
Support on page 486.
• Demo Script – A text file (demo_script.txt) uploaded to the NCHost TCP Interface
Utility to move vehicles (pucks) on the transport system for test or demonstration pur-
poses.
• Track File – A text file (track_file.mmtrk) that contains graphical path and motor
information about the transport system. The Track file is used by the NCHost TCP
Interface Utility to provide a graphical representation of the transport system to moni-
tor system operation. The Track file is created for MagneMover LITE transport sys-
tems using the MagneMover LITE Configurator.
• Track Layout File – An XML file (track_layout.ndx) that contains the parameters for
the graphical representation of a MagneMover LITE transport system. The Track Lay-
out file is used by the MagneMover LITE Configurator Utility to generate the Node
Controller Configuration File and the Track file for MagneMover LITE systems.
NOTICE Modifications to the Image or Type files could cause
improper operation of the transport system.
