cles are added at either the location that is specified in the Node Controller
Configuration File or in the next available space downstream.
4. Move vehicles as required.
• Use the NCHost TCP Interface Utility to move vehicles individually or create
a Demo Script for repetitive testing (see the NCHost TCP Interface Utility
User Manual, MMI-UM010).
• Use the host controller application to run the system as planned for production.
All QSHT transport system elements are simulated as previously described.
Stopping a Simulation
1. Issue a Suspend Motion command for all paths.
All vehicles come to a controlled stop.
2. Once all motion has stopped, issue a Reset command for all paths.
All vehicle records are cleared.
Return the System to Normal Operation
1. Configure the node controller to run in Normal Mode.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the simulated vehicles from the Node Controller
Configuration File as they are ignored during normal operation.
A. Run the node controller web interface.
B. Select IP Settings on the Main Menu.
The IP Settings page is displayed.
C. In the Configured Functions section, make sure that This box is a High
Level Controller Simulator is cleared.
D. In the Configured Functions section, make sure that This box is a Node Con-
troller is selected as appropriate.
E. In the Configured Functions section, make sure that This box is the High
Level Controller is selected as appropriate.
F. Select Apply Changes.
