Transport System Operation
Power-up
The QuickStick HT transport system is started by applying power as previously specified (see
Check-out and Power-up on page 221). Once the system completes startup, the QSHT compo-
nents are ready to operate. If the host controller is in control of the QSHT transport system,
the system accepts commands from the host controller through the network connection.
Normal Running
During normal operation, the host controller controls the QuickStick HT transport system.
The user must determine the exact usage of the QSHT transport system. See the Host Control-
ler TCP/IP Communication Protocol User Manual, MMI-UM003, for details of each com-
mand to use TCP/IP communication. See the Host Controller EtherNet/IP Communication
Protocol User Manual, MMI-UM004, for details of each user-defined tag and the PLC inter-
face to use EtherNet/IP communication.
NOTICE All network switch settings, communication connections,
and power connections must be made before power is
applied.
CRUSH HAZARD: Moving mechanisms (vehicles) have
no obstruction sensors.
Do not operate the QuickStick HT transport system without
barriers in place or personal injury could result in the squeez-
ing or compression of fingers, hands, or other body parts
between moving mechanisms.
