Additional Connections
The remaining components and connections must be defined on the QSHT transport system
layout. The components include power supplies for the motor drives and network switches for
communication with the node controllers and host controller (see
for an example).
If node controllers with digital I/O are being used, E-stop buttons, interlocks, and light stacks
can be configured and their locations identified.
Power Supplies
– The different QuickStick motor families have different power require-
ments.
•
QSHT motors using QSMC motor controllers use DC power supplies pro300–
400V DC for propulsion power and DC power supplies pro24V DC for logic
power. See
•
QSHT motors using QSHT 5700 inverters use 2198-Pxxx DC-bus power supplies pro-
458–747V DC for propulsion power and DC power supplies providing
+24V DC for logic power. See
for power supply sizing.
Network Switches
– Ethernet switches provide signal routing from the host controller to the
node controllers, between node controllers, and when using QSHT 5700 inverters to the
inverters. All node controllers must be on the same local area network subnet.
Host Controller
– User-supplied controller that runs the application for monitoring and con-
trol of the transport system.
Power Wiring
– Identifies the power connections between motor drives that are connected to
the same power supply.
