Programming RS-422 Motors
When a new RS-422 MagneMover LITE motor is installed, either as part of a new system
installation or as a replacement for an existing motor it must be programmed with the appro-
priate Motor ERF Image file (
motor_image
.erf).
NOTE:
MagneMover LITE motors are shipped from the factory with just a basic motor soft-
ware image installed. They must be programmed with the software that is supplied
with the motors before use.
Required Tools and Equipment
•
Computer with an Ethernet port and a web browser.
•
Motor ERF Image files.
Procedure
1.
Upload the Motor ERF Image files (
motor_image
.erf) to each node controller by using
the node controller web interface and program the motor masters and slaves. See the
Node Controller Interface User Manual
for details.
NOTE:
Restart the node controller for the changes to take effect.
2.
Reset the paths where the motors were programmed (for example, use the NCHost
TCP Interface Utility, see the
NCHost TCP Interface Utility User Manual
for details).
