7.2.1.1. Look Ahead Slowdown Feature
The Look Ahead feature configures the logic to “look ahead” to its next downstream zone and if it is
occupied when a carton is entering its zone, the module will dynamically adjust the MDR to the selected
speed. This feature in intended to be used in higher speed applications were increased stopping distance is
required to keep cartons from over-travelling their stop positions. This function can be applied per zone or
for multiple zones
A carton is accumulated and stopped at Zone 1 and another carton is conveying at normal set speed
When carton reaches end of Zone 3, Zone 2 will wake up and run at the Look Ahead Speed
