Connecting Motors and Electronics

The MagneMover LITE transport system uses either RS-422 communication or Ethernet
communication with the motors in the transport system.
• When using RS-422, all motors in a specific path are daisy chained together with the
upstream end of the chain connected to a node controller. The downstream end of the
chain connects to a node controller only if it ends at a node. All paths in a node must
connect to the same node controller.
• When using Ethernet, all motors in a specific path are connected to a node controller
through an Ethernet chain (see
paths in a node must connect to the same node controller. More than one path can be
connected to a node controller through the same Ethernet chain.
Power and communication cables must be run such that they are shielded from damage and
can be easily accessed for service, such as in the cable chase under the motors. The following
procedure provides the information that is required to make all motor connections as shown in
Figure 4-56 through
Node Controller Hardware User Manual, MMI-UM013.
Basic information is provided in this section. For detailed guidelines, refer to the following
publications.
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines,
• Wiring and Grounding Guidelines for Pulse-width Modulated (PWM) AC Drives,
drives-in001.

Never connect or disconnect the power lines while power is
applied to the MagneMover LITE transport system as dam-
age to internal components can result.
The NC LITE only supports the custom +18V DC Power
over Ethernet (PoE) used by MagneMotion. Never connect
the NC LITE to a standard PoE network as damage to inter-
nal components can result.
The NC-S, NC-E, and NC-12 node controllers and the MM
LITE motors do not support Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Never connect these components to a powered Ethernet net-
work as damage to internal components can result.
