Belt Reversible
If belt is reversible, that is it is connected to a control device that can reverse
the belt direction through inputs, this should be turned on (set to “Y”). This will
enable certain additional Logic inputs that can be used to run the belt in
reverse.
AutoStart
If this feature is enabled, the feeder will start anytime the Logical input “Run
Permission” is on. If this is mapped to a Physical input and that Physical input is
on after a reset, the feeder will start automatically. This is not generally
recommended, but available.
