•
For a Node Controller LITE, typically connect to either J1 or J3 using a small
screwdriver - do not overtighten.
•
Record the Node Controller number from the transport system layout and the
Port number from the Node Controller for entry into the Node Controller Con-
figuration File.
NOTE:
When using an NC LITE, a custom cross-over gender changer may
be used when connecting the upstream end of a Path to one of the
Node Controller’s even (downstream) ports.
2.
Connect a communication cable from the downstream end of the motor to the
upstream end of the next motor in the Path; finger-tighten – do not use tools to tighten,
and route the cable in the cable chase.
3.
Continue to connect the remaining motors in the Path using the communication cables.
4.
Connect an external communications cable from the downstream end of the last motor
in the Path to an RS-422 connector on the Node Controller if that Path ends at a Node
(e.g., Relay Node, Switch, Terminus Node) and route the cable in the cable chase.
•
For an NC-12 Node Controller, connect to any RS-422 port, finger tighten
only.
•
For a Node Controller LITE, typically connect to either J2 or J4 using a small
screwdriver - do not overtighten.
•
Record the Node Controller number from the transport system layout and the
Port number from the Node Controller for entry into the Node Controller Con-
figuration File.
NOTE:
When using an NC LITE, a custom cross-over gender changer may
be used when connecting the downstream end of a Path to one of the
Node Controller’s odd (upstream) ports.
5.
Repeat
for each Path in the MM LITE transport system.
NOTE:
The motors at the ends of all Paths connected in a Node must be connected to
the same Node Controller.
6.
Bundle and dress all cables (use nylon cable-ties) as needed to ensure clean cable rout-
ing.
7.
for external communications connec-
tions.
