Description

MagneMotion MMI-NC-ENET-01 Ethernet Node Controller

Product Dimensions：

The MagneMotion MMI-NC-ENET-01 is a high-performance Node Controller (NC-E Series) produced by Rockwell Automation. It serves as the primary intelligence for MagneMotion’s independent cart technology (ICT), specifically managing the MagneMover® LITE and QuickStick® intelligent conveyor systems.

1. Product Detailed Description

The MMI-NC-ENET-01 acts as the “brain” of a track section. It coordinates the movement of multiple vehicles (carts) simultaneously by communicating with the motors via Ethernet. In a typical MagneMotion system, this controller:

• Translates high-level commands from a Host Controller (like a PLC or PC) into specific motion profiles for each motor.

• Manages complex routing, including merge/diverge points (switches).

• Monitors the real-time position, velocity, and health status of all vehicles on its assigned track section.

3. Product Advantages

• High-Speed Processing: Capable of managing high-density vehicle traffic with millisecond-level coordination.

• Reduced Hardware: Ethernet-based architecture minimizes the amount of cabling required compared to traditional mechanical conveyors.

• Decentralized Control: Multiple node controllers can be networked to manage massive, complex track layouts seamlessly.

• Smart Routing: Automatically handles vehicle anti-collision and “taxi-style” destination-based routing without complex PLC programming.

• Built-in Diagnostics: Features a web interface for real-time monitoring and easy configuration of track files and motor parameters.

4. Cautions & Maintenance

• IP Address Management: Every MMI-NC-ENET-01 must have a unique IP address. Default factory IP is usually 192.168.0.1.

• Firmware Compatibility: Ensure the firmware version of the Node Controller matches the version of the MagneMotion Configurator and motor firmware being used.

• Cooling: While designed for industrial environments, ensure adequate airflow around the unit to prevent overheating, especially when mounted in high-density electrical cabinets.

• Termination: If using the RS-232/422 serial ports for specific motor chains, ensure proper shielding and termination to prevent signal interference.

5. Product Applications

The MMI-NC-ENET-01 is essential for applications requiring high throughput, precision, and flexibility:

• Medical & Life Sciences: Lab automation and pharmaceutical packaging where clean-room compatibility and gentle product handling are vital.

• Battery Manufacturing: High-speed transport of cells through assembly and testing stations.

• Automotive Electronics: Precision assembly of small electronic components and sensors.

• Packaging: High-speed “pick-and-place” and sorting systems that require asynchronous vehicle movement.
