Facilities Connections
The standard configuration of the MagneMover LITE transport system requires user-supplied
electrical power and communication connections. See Electrical Specifications on page 206
for descriptions and specifications of all required facilities.
Network Connections
The MagneMover LITE transport system uses communication over an Ethernet network with
a host controller for transport system control. The same Ethernet network is used for commu-
nication between node controllers. When using MM LITE Ethernet motors, the same network
is also used for communication between the motors and the node controllers. Use a dedicated,
separate subnet for the transport system network to eliminate any unrelated network traffic.
The following procedure provides the information that is required to make all network com-
munication and PoE connections to the node controllers as shown in Figure 5-46. See
Figure 5-18 and Figure 5-19 for RS-422 motor and network connections and Figure 5-21 and
Figure 5-22 for Ethernet motor and network connections.
