Advanced Mode System Configuration

Basic Mode provides a limited number of features. In Advanced Mode, the ZoneLogix™ PRO can be configured in

many different arrangements to provide the most versatile material handling control available.

When the ZoneLogix™ PRO is configured in Advanced Mode, each zone is configured by the ZoneLogix™ PRO Branch

Monitor. Alternatively, each zone can be controlled by a PLC connected via EtherNet/IP.

See the companion ZoneLogix™ PRO Branch Monitor User Manual and ZoneLogix™ PRO Fieldbus Manual for further

information about Advanced Mode System Configuration.
