Transport System Software Overview
Several software applications are used to configure, test, and administer a QuickStick HT
transport system as shown in Figure 1-3 and described after the figure. See Related Documen-
tation on page 27 for the reference manuals for these applications.
Figure 1-3: Simplified View of Transport System Software Relationships
• NC Web Interface – A web-based software application that is supplied by MagneMo-
tion and resident on the node controllers, for administration of the transport system
components.
• NC Console Interface – A serial communication software application that is supplied
by MagneMotion and resident on the node controllers, for administration of the node
controller.
• NCHost TCP Interface Utility – A Windows
®
software application that is supplied
by MagneMotion to move vehicles for test or demonstration purposes. This applica-
tion supports system testing without the host controller to verify that vehicles move
correctly before integrating a transport system into a production environment.
• QuickStick Configurator Utility (Configurator) – A Windows software application
that is supplied by MagneMotion to create or change the Node Controller Configura-
tion File.
