Simple, Merge, Diverge, and Relay) and additional functions (for example, E-stop and inter-
locks).
NC-12 Node Controller
Node controller that supports both RS-422 and Ethernet motors with one network port, 12
RS-422 ports, two RS-232 ports, 16 digital inputs, and 16 digital outputs. This node controller
is available with an RJ45 Ethernet connector (see
) or an M12 Ethernet connector (see
). This node controller supports multiple nodes (for example, Simple, Merge, Diverge,
and Relay) and additional functions (for example, E-stop and interlocks).
NC LITE Node Controller
Node controller that supports both RS-422 and Ethernet motors with one network port and
four RS-422 ports (see
). This node controller typically supports one node (for exam-
ple, Merge). However, some configurations of nodes allow the node controller to support mul-
tiple nodes (for example, Simple and Relay).
