Connecting Motors and Electronics
The QuickStick HT transport system uses either RS-422 communication or Ethernet commu-
nication with the motors in the transport system.
• When using RS-422, all motors in a specific path are daisy-chained together. The
upstream end of the chain is connected to a node controller and the downstream end is
only connected to a node controller if it terminates in a node. All paths in a node must
connect to the same node controller.
• When using Ethernet, all motors in a specific path are connected to a node controller
through an Ethernet chain. All paths in a node must connect to the same node control-
ler. More than one path can be connected to a node controller through the same Ether-
net chain.
Power and communications cables must be run such that they are shielded from damage and
can be easily accessed for service. The following procedure provides the information that is
required to make all motor connections as shown in
Figure 4-9 , Figure 4-16 , Figure 4-17 , and
Figure 4-20 . Connections to the node controllers are described in the Node Controller Hard-
ware User Manual , MMI-UM013 .
Basic information is provided in this section. For detailed guidelines, see the following publi-
cations.
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, 1770-4.1 .
• Wiring and Grounding Guidelines for Pulse-width Modulated (PWM) AC Drives,
DRIVES-IN001 .
Wire Routing
When routing wiring to a motor or motor drive, separate the high-voltage propulsion power
from the logic power leads as described in
Wiring and Grounding Guidelines for Pulse-width
NOTICE Never connect or disconnect the power lines while power is
applied to the QuickStick HT transport system as damage to
internal components can result.
NOTICE The NC LITE only supports the custom 18V DC Power over
Ethernet (PoE) used by MagneMotion. Never connect the
NC LITE to a standard PoE network as damage to internal
components can result.
The NC-S, NC-E, and NC-12 node controllers and the MM
LITE motors do not support Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Never connect these components to a powered Ethernet net-
work as damage to internal components can result.
