Communication between system PLC and divert control box
1.
See Table 2 for a list of input and output signals that need to be passed between the divert box and
the system PLC.
2.
A jumper is present on input IN 8 (Bearing Detect). IN 8 is also connected to the signal of the
“missing bearing” fork sensor if it is
installed.
a.
By default, this jumper is factory installed on every divert box, to pull IN 8 to the HIGH state
(disabling the “missing bearing” detection functionality for that divert box).
