7.2.9.5. Most Upstream Zone Handshake
Interlock
In applications where the equipment feeding the most upstream zone of ConveyLinx controlled conveyor
requires a handshake interlock to know when the most upstream zone of the ConveyLinx controlled
conveyor is empty and ready to accept a new item, this can be achieved by utilizing both the Left and Right
Aux I/O Pin signals. One of the Aux I/O Pin 2 signals needs to be set as an input to Wake Up the zone and
the other signal needs to be configured as an output to indicate whether there is Product on Zone. When
this Product on Zone output is energized, then the feeding equipment knows that the most upstream zone
is occupied and is not ready to accept a new item.
Assuming the most upstream zone is
connected to the left side of the module;
we set the Left Pin 2 to Wake up from the
drop-down box and make sure we click
the UP arrow to indicate that the Left Pin
2 signal is to be associated with the
Upstream Zone. When the Left Pin 2
signal is energized, the upstream zone
will run to accept an item
