Getting Started with the MagneMover LITE Transport System
Use this manual as a guide and reference when installing the MagneMover LITE motors in a
transport system. Follow the steps in this section to get the entire transport system operational
quickly with the aid of the other MagneMotion manuals (refer to
Related Documentation on
page xxvii ).
NOTE: Ensure that all components and complete design specifications, including the physi-
cal layout of the transport system, are available before starting to install or test the
MM LITE transport system’s operation.
To get started quickly with the transport system:
1. Save the files and folders from the MagneMotion System Software that came with the
MagneMover LITE transport system to a folder on a computer for user access.
NOTE: The minimum computer requirements for running MagneMotion software
applications are a PC running Microsoft
®
Windows
®
7 with .NET 4.0 and an
Ethernet port.
2. Install the components of the MM LITE transport system as described in the following
sections of this manual:
A. Prepare the facility for the installation:
• Safety Considerations on page 2-4 .
• Design Guidelines on page 3-1 .
• Site Requirements on page 4-66 .
B. Prepare the components for installation and install:
• Unpacking and Inspection on page 5-2 .
• Transport System Installation on page 5-5 .
3. Install the MagneMotion Configurator on a computer for user access (refer to Software
Configuration on page 5-64 and the MagneMover
®
LITE Configurator User’s Man-
ual ).
A. Create the Track Layout File ( track_layout .ndx) to define the components and
their relationships in the transport system.
B. Create the Node Controller Configuration File (node_configuration.xml) to
define the components and operating parameters of the transport system.
4. Verify the installation is complete and the system is ready for use:
• System Check-out on page 5-66 .
• System Power-up on page 5-67 .
5. Set the Node Controller IP addresses, specify the Node Controller to be used as the
High Level Controller, and upload the configuration, image, and type files to each
