Control
The control of the machine should be done from a central control system. Standard
software blocks for Siemens are available at Qimarox.
The conditions for the control have been laid down in the technical specifications. When
these conditions are not met, the emergency stop circuit of the machine must be activated.

Machine in a system
The following example is a general overview of the intended use of the machine within a
system. In this example the carrier of the machine is equipped with a conveyor. The
product is transported from a feeding conveyor at the bottom level to a discharge conveyor
to a single top level.
Infeed
The product is fed into the machine and monitored by sensor P3. This sensor is located on
the end of the feeding conveyor. The product (A) will wait at sensor P3 until the carrier is in
position. The carrier can move after a product has been transported into the machine and
both sensors (P1 and P2) are not active, meaning the product is completely on the carrier.
Outfeed
After the carrier has moved to the outfeed level, the product can be transported onto the
discharge conveyor. This is monitored by sensor P4, which must be positioned so the
product is completely on the discharge conveyor before the sensor becomes active. Once
the sensor is active, the carrier is free to move.
