Installing Electronics
The electronics for the QSHT transport system can be attached to the transport system stands
or positioned elsewhere in the facility in an appropriate location.
Installing Electronics on the Transport System
Some track systems are designed to accept mounting of the electronic components of the
transport system (motor drives, node controllers, network switches, and power supplies). For
these systems, mount these components to the system as required. For track systems that are
not designed for mounting the electronic components, mount the components in racks or other
cabinets.
Installing Node Controllers
Locate the node controllers close to the nodes they are responsible for to minimize the length
of all wiring. The node controllers can be oriented in any direction that is required. See the
Node Controller Hardware User Manual
, for mounting information, making
sure that all service and exclusion zones are maintained.
Installing Node Controller Power Supplies
If the node controllers are powered using a remote power supply (instead of using PoE), locate
the power supply close to the node controller it is powering to minimize the length of all wir-
ing (see the
Node Controller Hardware User Manual
,
). The supplied power
supply can be oriented in any direction required. For other power supplies, see the installation
directions from the manufacturer, making sure that any service and exclusion zones are main-
tained.
Installing Network Switches
Locate the network switches close to the node controllers they are responsible for to minimize
the length of all wiring. See the network switch user documentation for mounting information,
making sure that any service and exclusion zones are maintained.
Installing Network Switch Power Supplies
If the network switches are powered using a remote power supply (instead of using PoE),
locate the power supply close to the network switch it is powering to minimize the length of
all wiring. The supplied power supply can be oriented in any direction required. For other
power supplies, see the installation directions from the manufacturer, making sure that any
service and exclusion zones are maintained.
NOTICE
Make sure that all mounting surfaces and mounting hardware
provide a conductive path to the transport system ground
connection.
