Motors and Switches

The MagneMover LITE G4 motors are available with two different communication options;
RS-422 and Ethernet. Power requirements and consumption for the motors are the same for
both communication options.
250 mm Motor (Rail and Railless) – +36V DC ±10%, 0.4 A typical, 1.2 A maximum.
See 250 Millimeter Motors on page 156
1000 mm Motor (Rail and Railless) – +36V DC ±10%, 1.5 A typical, 5.0 A maximum.
See 1000 Millimeter Motors on page 148
125 mm R 90° Curve Motor (Rail and Railless) – +36V DC ±10%, 0.4 A typical, 1.2 A
maximum.
See 125 Millimeter Radius 90° Curve Motors on page 164
Switch (Rail only) – +36V DC ±10%, 1.5 A typical, 5.0 A maximum.

NOTE: The motors and switches draw additional power when the vehicle (puck) is moving
or accelerating (see
depends on the velocity and acceleration of the vehicle, and the number of vehicles
accelerating at once. All power wiring must be sized to carry the full load.
The propulsion power input (P1 V+ Propulsion) uses a PTC (positive temperature
coefficient) resistor to limit inrush current upon application of power. The PTC is
only used for inrush current limiting and is bypassed in normal operation. Limit
cycling of the propulsion power to three times or less per minute to allow the PTC to
cool-down. Additionally, make sure that the Propulsion Power Not Ready bit in the
motor fault data is clear to make sure that the soft start circuit has reset before turn-
ing on propulsion power.
Providing a separate power source for the logic power allows the motors to be pro-
grammed and configured without enabling the propulsion power.
When using separate power sources for logic and propulsion power, the propulsion
power return must be tied to ground while the logic return can be left floating.
