Examples of QCPort Use
One Device Using QCPort
In many applications, the QCPort will be used as the connection between a motor
controller and the user interface/configuration keypad. The following figure contains a
one-to-one solution, where the user interface is powered from the motor controller’s
QCPort. A separate power supply is not required for the user interface. In this example,
the user interface is connected to Channel 0 of the motor controller. Channel 0 is
specifically used for connection to the user interface and operator stations.
Figure 1: Example of One Device Using QCPort
The interconnect supplied with the operator interface connects the operator interface to
the motor controller. This connection provides for 24V DC and communication; the
operator interface is powered from the motor controller. Configuration of the operator
interface or the motor controller for this application is not required for communication to
be established. The user can then use the operator interface to configure the motor
controller parameters, operate the motor controller, and monitor the operation of the
motor controller.
The information contained within this manual does not include instructions for setup or
operation of the motor controller or operator interface. For instructions on how to apply
the operator interface, refer to the manual for that device.
