This allowsthe QCPort devices to be monitored, controlled, and configured from a remote location.For this type of application, a power supply will be required; it can be the same powersupply that is used for the motor controllers.Figure 3: Example of Remote Connection Using QCPortSince a power supply sizing is required, refer to “Locating a Power Supply” later in thismanual. Along with the power supply sizing, physical media restrictions must befollowed. This includes the length of the interconnects, type of interconnects, and thepower capabilities for the interconnects.This type of application requires some configuration. The Group IDs for the QCPortdevices need to be set to unique IDs, the adapter requires an address configuration, andthen the mapping feature needs to be invoked to map the QCPort data to the industrialfieldbus. None of these configuration requirements require a software tool. If advancedconfiguration of the QCPort devices is required, then a software tool or a QCPort userinterface will be required. For information on configuration of the QCPort devices, refer tothe user manual for those devices.DeviceNet IT. 24V DCPower SupplyIT. EM Starters and D77B-QSNAPs
