Ethernet Interface Connection
Ethernet communication allows connecting the NC-S, NC-E, NC-12, and NC LITE node con-
trollers to the QSHT 5700 inverters through a network switch, using a standard 4-wire Ether-
net cable. See Figure 4-20 for the location of this connection on the motor drive. See the Node
Controller Hardware User Manual, MMI-UM013, for the locations of these connections on
the node controllers. There is no need to construct the Ethernet cables as all cabling is sup-
plied with the transport system. Contact MagneMotion for additional or replacement cables.
The QuickStick HT motors with QSHT 5700 inverters can use different network connection
schemes depending on the application. When using Ethernet, all motors in a specific path
must be connected to the same node controller. Additionally, multiple paths can be connected
to one node controller using the same Ethernet chain.
The Ethernet cables for network connections to the NC-12 node controllers use either a 4-pin
male M12 connector or an RJ45 connector at the end that plugs into the node controller. The
Ethernet cables for network connections to the NC-S, NC-E, and NC LITE node controllers
use an RJ45 connector at the end that plugs into the node controller. In each case, the end of
the cable that plugs into the network switch must have a connector appropriate for the switch.
The Ethernet cables for network to motor connections use an RJ45 connector on the end that
plugs into the motor drive and a connector appropriate for the network switch on the other end
of the cable. The Ethernet daisy chain cables for motor drive-to-motor drive connections use
an RJ45 connector that plugs into one motor drive at the Ethernet Port 2 connector on the
motor drive and another RJ45 connector that plugs into the next motor drive in the chain at the
Ethernet Port 1 connector.
