Rockwell Automation Publication MMI-UM047A-EN-P - May 2023 7
Preface
About This Publication This manual explains how to install, operate, and maintain the QuickStick®150
(QS 150) transport system. This manual also provides information about basic
troubleshooting.
Use this manual in combination with the other manuals and documentation
that accompanies the transport system to design, install, configure, test, and
operate a QS 150 transport system. Rockwell Automation offers instructor-led
or on-line training classes that provide additional instruction in the
installation, configuration, testing, and operation of a QS 150 transport
system.
Prerequisites
The information and procedures that are provided in this manual assume the
following:
• Basic familiarity with general-purpose computers and with the
Windows®operating system, web browsers, and terminal emulators.
• Complete design specifications, including the physical layout of the
transport system, are available.
• All personnel who configure, operate, or service the transport system are
properly trained.
Appropriate Use
Read and understand the safety instructions before using the QuickStick 150
system and review Motor Label Identification and Location.
Notes, Safety Notices, and
Symbols
Notes, Safety Notices, and Symbols that are used in this manual have specific
meanings and formats. Examples of notes, the different types of safety notices
and their general meanings are provided in this section. Adhere to all safety
notices provided throughout this manual to achieve safe installation and use.
Notes
Notes are set apart from other text and provide additional or explanatory
information as shown in the following example:
ATTENTION: Incorrect use of the products can cause personal injury and
property damage.
• Hardware must remain in its original state; never make structural changes.
• Do not de-compile software or alter source codes.
• Do not use damaged or faulty components.
• Install the system in the manner that is described in this manual.
• Operate the system in the ambient conditions that are described in the
QuickStick Motors Technical Data, publication MMI-TD051.
A note provides additional or explanatory information that is useful and can help
to make a process easier to do or easier to understand.

Preface
Safety Notices
Safety Notices are set apart from other text. The color of the panel at the top of
the notice and the text in the panel indicates the severity of the hazard. The
symbol on the left of the notice identifies the type of hazard see Symbol
Identification on page 10 for symbol descriptions. The text in the message
panel identifies the hazard, methods to avoid the hazard, and the
consequences of not avoiding the hazard.
Examples of the standard safety notices that are used in this manual are
provided in this section. Each example includes a description of the hazard
level indicated.
Safety Considerations
Personnel Safety Guidelines
QuickStick 150 components and transport systems can provide several direct
safety hazards to personnel if not properly installed or operated. General safety
guidelines are provided in this section, specific cautions are provided as
needed see Mechanical Hazards on page 11, Electrical Hazards on page 12, and
Magnetic Hazards on page 13.
• Personnel operating or servicing the QS 150 transport system must be
properly trained.
• Be aware of the hazardous points of the QS 150 transport system as
described in this manual.
• High-strength neodymium iron boron magnets are used with the QS 150
motors.
• To avoid severe injury, people with pacemakers and other medical
electronic implants must not handle or approach the magnet arrays.
These individuals must consult their physician to determine the
DANGER
Danger indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING
Warning indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Caution indicates a hazardous situation, which if not avoided, could result in
minor or moderate injury.
IMPORTANT Identifies information that is critical for successful application and
understanding of the product.
These safety recommendations are basic guidelines. If the facility where the
QuickStick 150 components are installed has additional safety guidelines, they
must be followed as well, along with the applicable local and national safety codes.

susceptibility of their device to static magnetic fields and to determine
a safe distance between themselves and the magnet array.
• Handle only one vehicle/magnet array at a time. Do not place any body
parts, such as fingers, between a magnet array and any QS 150 motors,
ferrous material, or another magnet array to avoid injury from strong
magnetic attractive forces.
• Vehicles and magnet arrays not on the QS 150 transport system must
be secured individually in isolated packaging.
• Moving mechanisms have no obstruction sensors and can cause personal
injury.
• Whenever power is applied, the possibility of automatic motion of the
vehicles or user-supplied equipment in the QS 150 transport system
exists. It is the responsibility of the user to provide appropriate
safeguards.
• Make sure that propulsion power is disabled whenever maintenance is
being performed on the vehicles, track system, or motors.
• Make sure that the QS 150 motors and related components are properly
decontaminated before performing any service by following the
decontamination procedures at the facility. Follow all facility, local, and
national procedures for the disposal of any hazardous materials.
Equipment Safety Guidelines
The following safety considerations are provided to aid in the placement and
use of the QuickStick 150 transport system.
• The QS 150 components are not provided with an Emergency Off (EMO)
circuit. The facility where the system is installed is responsible for an
EMO circuit.
• Do not place the power and communication cables for the QS 150
transport system where they could cause a trip hazard.
• Do not place the QS 150 transport system in a location where it could be
subject to physical damage.
• Make sure that all electrical connections to the QS 150 components are
made in accordance with the appropriate facility, local, and national
regulations.
• Make sure that the QS 150 components receive proper airflow for cooling.
• Do not remove safety labels or equipment identification labels.
• Turn off power before inserting or removing the power cables.
• Use of the QS 150 components for any purpose other than as a linear
transport system is not recommended and can damage the QS 150
components or the equipment they are connected to.
• Always operate the QS 150 transport system with appropriate barriers in
place to help prevent contact with moving objects by personnel.
• Do not install or operate the QS 150 transport system if any of the
components have been dropped, damaged, or are malfunctioning.
• Keep cables and connectors away from heated surfaces.
• Do not modify the connectors or ports.

Preface
Symbol Identification Symbols are used in this manual and on the products to identify hazards,
mandatory actions, and prohibited actions. The symbols that are used in this
manual and their descriptions are provided in the following tables.
Table 1 - Hazard Alert Symbol Identification
Symbol Description
General Hazard Alert – Indicates that failure to follow recommended
procedures can result in unsafe conditions, which could cause injury or
equipment damage.
Lifting Hazard – Indicates that the specified object is heavy or awkward
to handle. Personnel must use lifting aids and proper techniques for
lifting to avoid muscle strain or back injury.
Automatic Start Hazard – Indicates the possibility of machinery
automatically starting or moving, which could cause personal injury.
Hazardous Voltage – Indicates that a severe shock hazard is present
that could cause personal injury.
Magnetic Field Hazard – Indicates that a strong magnetic field is
present that could cause personal injury.
Pinch/Crush Hazard – Indicates that there are exposed parts that
move, which could cause personal injury from the squeezing or
compression of fingers, hands, or other body parts between those parts.
Table 2 - Mandatory Action Symbol Identification
Symbol Description
Eye Protection Required – Indicates that appropriate eyewear must
be worn to help prevent injury to eyes from flying shards.
Foot Protection Required – Indicates that appropriate footwear must
be worn to help prevent injury to feet from falling objects.
Lockout Required – Indicates that all power must be disconnected
using a method that helps prevent accidental reconnection.
