Facilities Connections
The standard configuration of the QuickStick HT transport system requires user-supplied
electrical power and communication connections. See the Electrical Specifications on
page 133 for descriptions and specifications of all required facilities.
Network Connections
The QuickStick HT transport system uses communication over an Ethernet network with a
host controller for transport system control. The same Ethernet network is used for communi-
cation between node controllers. When using QSHT 5700 inverters, the same network is also
used for communication between the inverters and the node controllers. Use a dedicated, sep-
arate 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 5-18. See
Figure 5-5 and Figure 5-6 for RS-422 motor and network connections and Figure 5-8 and
Figure 5-9 for Ethernet motor and network connections.
