Select a Speed

3.3
Three switches determine the operating speed, making it
simple to match speeds in multiple zones. The actual speed
selected also depends on the motor that you selected in the
previous step, so set those switches first.
There is also possible to use the 0-10Vdc differential Analog
control input for remote, dynamic speed adjustment while
the system is running.

Configure the Location

3.4
Identify the location of the control and then set Switch 3.
If this control is placed at the entry end of the conveyor section
§
where objects are loaded, set Switch 3 to the ON position.
If this control is placed at the exit end of the conveyor section
§
where objects are discharged, set Switch 3 to the OFF position.
If this control is placed between two other controls, the
§
position of Switch 3 has no effect and can be in either position.

In Between:
ON

Configure the Operating Mode

3.5
Identify the operating mode that this section of conveyor will
use for transporting objects and then set Switch 2.
§
If the conveyor will be operating in the conventional Zero-
Pressure Accumulation (ZPA) mode, set Switch 2 to the
OFF position.
If the conveyor will be operating in the higher throughput,
§
enhanced accumulation ZIP mode, set Switch 2 to the ON
position.
§
If the conveyor will be operating in Slug Mode or Reverse
Slug, or as a stand-alone unit, the position of Switch 2 has
no effect because the Slug Mode and Reverse Slug inputs
override all of the accumulation logic.

Configure the Rotation

3.6
Identify the proper direction of rotation for the motor shaft
in order to move objects from the upstream (entry) end of
the conveyor towards the downstream (exit) end of the
conveyor.
The direction of rotation is defined when viewed from the
back side of the motor with the shaft extending away from
the viewer.
For P clockwise rotation set Switch 1 to the ON position.
§
For Q counter-clockwise rotation set Switch 1 to OFF.
§
NOTE: See Switch 1 in Table 4: Configuration Switch Settings.

Configure Communications

3.7
Make
the
peer-to-peer
connections. These controls pass request and permission signals
between adjacent zones over the 6-wire modular RJ-25 phone
cables. See Section 5.3 for information on the cable orientation.
§
At the exit end of the conveyor, leave the downstream
peer-to-peer RJ-25 connection (item 8) unconnected.
§
Connect one end of a 6-wire phone cable to the Upstream
Peer-to-Peer RJ-25 Connection (item 7) and then connect
the other end of the phone cable to the downstream phone
jack on the adjacent upstream control.
At each adjacent intermediate control, connect another 6-
§
wire phone cable to the Upstream Peer-to-Peer RJ-25
Connection (item 7) and then connect the other end of that
cable to the downstream phone jack on the adjacent
upstream control.
At the entry zone control at the most upstream zone, leave
§
the upstream peer-to-peer RJ-25 connection (item 7)
unconnected.

Entry Zone

3.8.1
1.
Use Smart 1 Input (a PNP input called request) to notify the
control that there is a parcel ready for input to the zone.
If the zone is not already occupied, when this signal is active,
it will cause the zone to run.
The signal may be provided by any number of alternative
sources such as a PLC, a simple switch, a photo sensor, etc.
as long as the input voltage is above 18 volts when active.
2.
Use Smart 2 Output (a PNP output called permission) to
notify an external device that the zone is empty and ready to
receive a parcel.
