• The use of Allen-Bradley
deliver the required network performance.
• Ethernet chains can consist of multiple paths (as defined in the transport system layout
drawing).
• Chains do not need to start at the beginning of a path.
• If all motors in a path are not part of the same Ethernet chain, all chains the path is a
member of must connect to the same network as the node controller.

Ethernet Motor Connection Examples

The MagneMover LITE Ethernet motors, which use Ethernet for motor to motor communica-
tion and for motor to node controller communication can use different network topologies
depending on the application. When using Ethernet, all motors in a specific path must be on
the same network as the node controller (see
all motors and their location in the transport system must be defined in the MICS file (see
Ethernet Motor MICS File on page
Straight Paths
The following figures show simplified connection diagrams of the different methods for con-
necting a simple string of motors using Ethernet. The specific connection method that is used
depends on the application for the motors.
Straight Transport System (recommended):
One Enet Connection per Chain, One Chain,
One Path
Host Enet
Controller Switch
