6.2.3 Functions
Automatic roll cutoff
This function is used to deactivate accumulation positions which are not currently in use, thus reducing
energy consumption, decreasing noise levels and resulting in less wear and tear.
If no object is present in front of the sensor for a specified period of time, or if there aren’t any objects in the
zone, the solenoid valve / motor output or the solenoid valve shuts down the zone. The connected rollers are
stopped. If a +24 V DC signal is applied to the input or an object is placed in front of the sensor, the solenoid
valve / motor output or the solenoid valve switches the zone back on again and the connected rollers convey
the objects again. The zone is activated in the same way during normal accumulation of objects. Duration can
be adjusted with the software.
Setting range: 0 to 25 seconds
Default setting: function deactivated

Jam Monitoring
This function detects material jams in the conveyor system as early as possible and prevents the forwarding
of further objects into the jam.
If an object is continuously detected by the sensor for a specified period of time although the rollers are
activated, this is detected as a material jam. The rollers of the respective accumulation position, as well as all
upstream accumulation positions, are stopped. In this case, the status LED indicates an error by means of
rapid blinking. If an output has been set up as a jam monitoring, it’s activated as well.

The jam can be cleared by means of one of the following methods:
1. Block discharge: If block discharge is activated, all accumulation positions up to the jam are activated.
Downstream accumulation positions remain deactivated until the jam has been cleared.
After the jam has been cleared, the selected accumulation logic continues after deactivation of block
discharge.
2. Manual clearing: The jam has to be cleared manually by an operator.
The zone must be fully cleared in order to reactivate accumulation logic.
Duration can be adjusted with the software.
Setting range: 0 to 25 seconds
Default setting: function deactivated
