7.2.9.6. Most Downstream Zone Handshake
Interlock
In applications where the equipment accepting product from the most downstream zone of ConveyLinx
controlled conveyor requires a handshake interlock to know when the most downstream zone of the
ConveyLinx controlled conveyor is occupied and ready to discharge the 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 Accumulate 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 accepting equipment
knows that the most downstream zone is occupied and is ready to discharge the item.
Assuming the most downstream zone is
connected to the right side of the module;
we set the Right Pin 2 to Accumulate
from the drop-down box and make sure
we click the “DOWN” arrow to indicate
that the Right Pin 2 signal is to be
associated with the Downstream Zone.
Similarly, we select Product on Zone for
the Left Pin 2 signal and click the
diagonal arrow to indicate that this signal
is to reflect the status of the Downstream
zone
