Software
The MagneMover LITE transport system requires user-creation of the Node Controller Con-
figuration File and creation of Host Controller software to direct vehicle movement for the
particular application and monitor transport system performance. MagneMotion provides a
number of software tools to simplify the creation of the Node Controller Configuration File,
for testing system operation, and for monitoring system operation. Refer to
for identification and descriptions of all software components.
Software Overview
Node Controllers supplied with the MagneMover LITE transport system ship with just a basic
NC software image installed. All Node Controller related files (NC image, motor images and
type files, and magnet array type files) must be uploaded to the Node Controller and activated
before using the transport system. Refer to the
Node Controller Web Interface User’s Manual
for details.
All MagneMover LITE motors ship with just a basic motor software image installed. The
motor image files must be uploaded to the motors through the Node Controller.
Upgrades to the software can be uploaded through the network communications link. Refer to
the Upgrade Procedure in the Release Notes supplied with the software upgrade.
NOTE:
Specific builds of MagneMotion's software may not implement all of the features
described in this manual. Refer to the Release Notes provided with the software for
additional information.
All software running on the MagneMover LITE transport system must be part of the
same release. Refer to the Release Notes provided with the software for additional
information.
Alterations or changes to the software should only be made by qualified MagneMo-
tion personnel or as directed by MagneMotion.
Software Configuration
Create the Node Controller Configuration File (node_configuration.xml) using the Configura-
tor to define the components of the transport system and their relationship to each other. Refer
to
