1.
Connect a Cat 5 network cable for transport system network communications from the
host controller to the Uplink connector on the network switch as shown in
.
NOTE:
When using multiple network switches to connect all node controllers, use
one switch as a master and connect all other network switches to it as shown
in
When using multiple MagneMotion PoE network switches, connect the
Uplink from each switch to a master network switch as shown in
, do not daisy chain the PoE network switches.
2.
Connect a Cat 5 cable for network communication from the network switch to each
node controller, the
Node Controller Hardware User Manual
,
, for the
connection locations.
Electrical Connections
Electrical power is connected to the QuickStick HT transport system for operation of the
motors and other subsystems. An AC electrical connection is provided on those components
that require facility power. See
for electrical require-
ments. Make sure that all electrical connections are for the appropriate voltage and power rat-
ing.
1.
Connect power to each NC-S:
•
Connect the AC power cable from either the optional remote power supply or a
user-supplied power supply to the power distribution from the main power dis-
connect for the facility. Then, connect the DC power cable to the power con-
nector on each NC-S node controller.
NOTICE
The Ethernet cable that connects a PoE network
switch to the host controller or other network
switches must connect to the Uplink port. Connecting
to other ports can damage the network switches or
other devices that are connected to the network
switches.
NOTICE
Do not turn on facility power until all installation procedures
have been completed.
NOTICE
The NC-S node controller does not support Power
over Ethernet (PoE). Never connect these node con-
trollers to a powered Ethernet network as damage to
internal components can result.
