System Testing
Test the MagneMotion transport system to verify proper operation of all nodes, paths, and
vehicles. Use the NCHost application that is supplied by MagneMotion to move vehicles
without the host controller to verify proper operation before integrating a transport system
into a production environment. Create Demo Scripts to perform repetitive testing throughout
the transport system. See the
NCHost TCP Interface Utility User Manual
for details. If any
problems are encountered, see
1.
Make sure that the transport system is fully configured.
2.
Make sure that the Node Controller Configuration File is fully defined and has been
uploaded to all node controllers (see the
Node Controller Interface User Manual
).
3.
Make sure that the web interface for each node controller shows a status of run-
ning/valid (see the
Node Controller Interface User Manual
).
4.
Issue a Restart Services command for each node controller (see the
Node Controller
Interface User Manual
).
5.
Issue a Reset command for all paths.
All motors on the paths in the transport system are reset.
6.
Issue a Startup command to all paths.
Motion on all paths is enabled, all vehicles on the paths are identified and located, and
the paths become operational.
7.
Verify that the host controller has identified all vehicles in the transport system (see
the
NCHost TCP Interface Utility User Manual
).
8.
Move vehicles individually or create a Demo Script for repetitive testing (see the
NCHost TCP Interface Utility User Manual
).
9.
Use the NCHost TCP Interface Utility to monitor transport system operation.
CAUTION
Crush Hazard
Moving mechanisms have no obstruction sensors.
Do not operate the MagneMotion transport system without
barriers in place or personal injury could result in the squeez-
ing or compression of fingers or other body parts between
moving mechanisms.
