In applications where the equipment feeding the most upstream zone of ConveyLinx-Ai2 controlled conveyor
requires a handshake interlock to know when the most upstream zone of the ConveyLinx-Ai2 controlled conveyor
is empty and ready to accept a new item, this can be achieved by utilizing both the Left and Right Aux I/O Pin
signals. One of the Aux I/O Pin 2 signals needs to be set as an input to Wake Up the zone and the other sginal
needs to be configured as an output to indicate whether there is Product on Zone. When this Product on Zone
output is energized, then the feeding equipment knows that the most upstream zone is occupied and is not ready
to accept a new item.
Assuming the most upstream zone is
connected to the left side of the
module; we set the Left Pin 2 to
"Wake Up" from the drop down box
and make sure we click the "UP"
arrow to indicate that the Left Pin 2
signal is to be associated with the
Upstream Zone. Similarly we select
"Product on Zone" for the Right Pin 2
signal and click the diagonal arrow to
indicate that this signal is to reflect
the status of the Upstream zone.
