Product Description
2.2.4
Transportation
In this operating mode, a zone forwards the release signal directly to the zones behind it. At the
same time, the release signal also switches on the zone motor. The release is not set
independently. Therefore, only a block release is carried out, which does not cause the
conveyed product to be separated.
Connecting a zone sensor is optional in this operating mode. If a zone sensor is connected, the
logic can detect accumulations and shut down the zone DC roller motor, if necessary. If the
downstream zone is operating in a different mode, the zone sensor must be connected so that
its status can be forwarded via the zone coupling.
The following example describes the sequence in the operating mode "Transportation":
Figure 2.9
■
Step A: Downstream zone (3) has not set its release signal (red light). Zone (2) therefore
also does not set its release signal, meaning that the DC roller motor does not rotate.
■
Step B: Downstream zone (6) has set the release signal (green light). Zone (5)
immediately forwards the release signal to its upstream zone (4) and switches on its DC
roller motor. The conveyed product starts up at the same time.
■
Step C: Downstream zone (9) has reset its release signal. Zone (8) immediately resets its
release signal and shuts down the DC roller motor.
The following time condition is used in the operating mode "Transportation" (see Chapter
"Operating Behavior"):
■
Leaving time (only if a zone sensor is connected)
This operating mode can be used without restriction in 1-zone and 2-zone operation. For this
reason, there is no option for a separate switchover.
