Replace RS-422 Motors with Ethernet Motors
The RS-422 MagneMover LITE motors can be replaced with Ethernet motors easily depend-
ing upon the location and mounting method for the motor. This example replaces one curve
and one straight motor from the loop using RS-422 motors that is shown in Figure 7-12.

Required Tools and Equipment
• Torque wrench with the following bits:
• T30 Torx. (v-brace screw).
• 10 mm Hex socket. (M6).
• 13 mm Hex socket. (M8).
• Computer with an Ethernet port and a web browser.
• System Node Controller Configuration File.
Remove Existing RS-422 Motors
1. Turn off all electrical and pneumatic power to the MagneMover LITE transport system
where the motors are being replaced.
2. Remove the RS-422 motors from the transport system as shown in Figure 7-13, see
Replace RS-422 Motors on page 385.
