Introduction
Getting Started with the QuickStick HT Transport System
5. Set the IP address for each node controller and specify the node controller to be used
as the high-level controller. Upload the configuration, image, and type files to each
node controller using the node controller web interface (see
Installation on page 220
MMI-UM001).
Once configured, the node controllers can be used to simulate the transport system, see
Transport System Simulation on page
6. When using motors with Ethernet communication, create the MICS file (see
File Format on page
page 222).
7. Program the motors using the Motor ERF Image files (see
on page
NCHost TCP Interface Utility User Manual, MMI-UM010).
8. Test and debug the transport system by using the NCHost TCP Interface Utility and
Demo Scripts (see
face Utility User Manual, MMI-UM010). NCHost provides an easy method to verify
proper operation and make adjustments such as refining the control loop tuning.
NOTE: The NCHost TCP Interface Utility is for test and verification trials only. The
9. Configure the host controller (either a general-purpose computer or PLC) to control
the QSHT transport system as required to meet the material movement needs of the
facility where the system is installed. See:
• Transport System Operation on page
• Shut-down on page
When using TCP/IP communication with a PC, see the Host Controller TCP/IP Com-
munication Protocol User Manual, MMI-UM003. When using EtherNet/IP communi-
cation with a PLC, see the Host Controller EtherNet/IP Communication Protocol User
Manual, MMI-UM004.
