B. Create the Node Controller Configuration File (node_configuration.xml) to
define the components and operating parameters of the transport system.
4. Set the IP address for each node controller and specify the node controller to be used
as the high-level controller (see the Node Controller Interface User Manual,
MMI-UM001).
5. Verify that the installation is complete and the system is ready for use:
• System Check-out on page
• System Power-up on page
6. Upload the configuration, image, and type files to each node controller using the node
controller web interface (see
the Node Controller Interface User Manual, MMI-UM001).
Once configured, the node controllers can be used to simulate the transport system, see
Transport System Simulation on page
7. When using motors with Ethernet communication, create the MICS file (see
Motor MICS File on page
Power-up on page
8. Program the motors using the Motor ERF Image files (see
on page
NCHost TCP Interface Utility User Manual, MMI-UM010).
9. If using the LSM Synchronization option, install the components of the option on the
transport system and configure the SYNC IT
the LSM Synchronization Option User Manual, MMI-UM005.
10. 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
11. Configure the host controller to control the MM LITE transport system as required to
meet the material movement needs of the facility where the system is installed. See:
• Transport System Operation on page
• Shutdown on page
When using TCP/IP communication, see the Host Controller TCP/IP Communication
Protocol User Manual, MMI-UM003. When using EtherNet/IP communication, see
the Host Controller EtherNet/IP Communication Protocol User Manual,
MMI-UM004.
