detailed example. The connections for a diverge switch are different than the connection
shown in Figure 5-19
When connecting the motors to the node controllers, both ends of a path do not need to con-
nect to the same node controller. However, all connections to the motors at the ends of all
paths that meet in a node must be made to the same node controller. See the MagneMover
LITE Configurator User Manual, MMI-UM008, for more information about nodes and paths.
