then be uploaded to each node controller in the transport system before using the system. See
the Node Controller Interface User Manual, MMI-UM001, for details.
Configure the host controller to control the transport system. See the Host Controller TCP/IP
Communication Protocol User Manual, MMI-UM003, or the Host Controller EtherNet/IP
Communication Protocol User Manual, MMI-UM004, depending on the host controller type.
Node Controller Software Installation
1. Upload the node controller image files to each node controller with the node controller
web interface. See the Node Controller Interface User Manual, MMI-UM001, for
details.
NOTE: Activate the image and reboot the node controller for the changes to take
effect.
2. Upload the configuration files through the node controller web interface to each node
controller. See the Node Controller Interface User Manual, MMI-UM001, for details.
NOTE: Restart the node controller for the changes to take effect.
Motor Software Installation
1. When using Ethernet motors:
A. Create a MICS file to define the network topology for the motors (see Ethernet
Motor MICS File on page 97).
B. Upload the MICS file to each node controller using the node controller web
interface and program (see the Node Controller Interface User Manual,
MMI-UM001).
C. Cycle logic power to the motors to force the motors to request their network
provisioning.
2. Upload the Motor ERF Image files (motor_image.erf) to each node controller using
the node controller web interface and program the motors. See Program RS-422
Motors on page 387 or Program Ethernet Motors on page 393 and the Node Control-
ler Interface User Manual, MMI-UM001, for details.
NOTE: Restart the node controller for the changes to take effect.
3. Reset the paths where the motors were programmed (for example, use the NCHost
TCP Interface Utility, see the NCHost TCP Interface Utility User Manual,
MMI-UM010, for details).
