Ethernet Motor Connection Examples
The QuickStick HT 5700 Inverters, which use Ethernet for inverter to inverter communication
and for inverter to node controller communication can use different network topologies
depending on the application. When using Ethernet communications, the inverters for all
motors in a specific path must be on the same network as the node controller (see
Figure 3-15
through Figure 3-26 ). Additionally, the inverters for all motors and the location of the motors
in the transport system must be defined in the MICS file (see Ethernet Motor MICS File on
page 89 ).
Order of Modules
When using linear (chained) Ethernet communication with the QSHT motors, the order of the
modules on the chain is important. This is because if a module on the chain experiences an
anomaly, all modules after it on the chain could lose their communication to the network
switch and node controller.
To make sure that an anomaly in a QSHT 5700 inverter does not interrupt power to all invert-
ers in the chain, the 2198-Pxxx DC-bus power supplies for the inverters in the chain must be
the first modules in the chain as shown in
Figure 3-13 . There is a maximum of 16 inverters per
power supply, power dependent. The power supplies can also be connected directly to the
Ethernet switch and not part of the Ethernet chain as shown in
Figure 3-14 .
