3. Remove all communication cables for the removed motors.

Install New Ethernet Motors

1. Install the Ethernet motors in the transport system as shown in
Replace RS-422 Motors on page
Loop Transport System:
Mixed Enet and RS-422 motors, Two Paths
One Enet Chain, One RS-422 Chain
Host
Controller
2. If the system doesn't have a network switch between the host controller and the HLC,
install a network switch.
A. Reroute the existing connection from the host controller to the node controller
so it runs from the host controller to the network switch.
B. Add an Ethernet connection from the node controller to the network switch.
3. Install the Ethernet cables.
A. Add an Ethernet connection from the network switch to one of the new Ether-
net motors.
B. Add an Ethernet connection from Ethernet motor to Ethernet motor.
4. Reinstall the RS-422 cables.
• Replace the connections to the ends of the RS-422 path.
5. Restore power to the MagneMover LITE transport system where the motors were
replaced.

Create/Revise Configuration Files

1. Revise the Node Controller Configuration File (see the MagneMover LITE Configura-
tor User Manual, MMI-UM008).
A. Make sure that the Ethernet motors are properly defined.
B. Make sure that Relay Nodes are used to connect the new motors to the existing
system as shown in
