Shut-down
The following shut-down procedure is used to remove power from the QuickStick HT trans-
port system in an orderly manner and place the components in known conditions. This proce-
dure is used to prepare the components for removal, replacement, or maintenance.
The QuickStick HT transport system requires no special shut-down procedures. When shut-
ting down the host controller, the QSHT components must be shut down first.
1.
All material transfers must be completed (move all material to the appropriate loca-
tions).
2.
Command all vehicles to known positions.
3.
Issue a Suspend Motion command for all paths.
All vehicles come to a controlled stop.
4.
Once all motion has stopped, issue a Reset command for all paths.

Turn off all power to the motor drives.
6.
Turn off power to the node controllers.

NOTE:
This procedure only shuts down facilities to the QuickStick HT motors, motor
drives, their subsystems, and the host controller. Any user equipment remains pow-
ered up.
SHOCK HAZARD:
The shut-down procedure is used in the
normal shut-down of the QuickStick HT transport system.
This procedure removes the power source and all other facil-
ities to the components and provides guidelines for lock-
out/tagout. This procedure is NOT the same as an EMO
circuit or other safety interlock.
