3. Continue to connect the remaining motor controllers/motors in the path with the com-
munication cables.
4. Connect an external communications cable from the downstream connector of the
motor controller for the last motor in the path to an RS-422 connector on the node con-
troller if that path ends at a node (for example, Relay Node, switch node, or Terminus
Node). Tighten the connector shell finger tight only – do not overtighten. Route the
cable so it is shielded from damage and can be easily accessed for service.
• For an NC-S or NC-12 node controller, connect to any RS-422 port, tighten the
connector shell finger tight only – do not overtighten.
• For an NC LITE, typically connect to either J2 or J4, tighten the connector
mounting screws to 0.34 N•m [3 in•lb] – do not overtighten.
NOTE: When using an NC LITE, a custom cross-over gender changer can be
used when connecting the downstream end of a path to one of the odd
(upstream) ports on the node controller.
• Record the node controller IP address from the transport system layout and the
port number from the node controller for entry into the Node Controller Con-
figuration File.
5. Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 for each path in the QSHT transport system.
NOTE: The motor controllers for the motors at the ends of all paths that are con-
nected in the same node must be connected to the same node controller.
6. Bundle and dress all cables (use nylon cable-ties) as required to keep all cable routing
clean.
7. Connect the Ground stud on all QSMC and QSMC-2 motor controllers to GND (PE).
8. Connect the grounding point on all motors to GND (PE) and tighten to 4.8 N•m
[42 in•lb] max).
9. Make sure that each node controller is properly grounded.
10. See Facilities Connections on page 214 for external communications connections.
