5. Auto-Configuration
The purpose of Auto-Configuration for networked ConveyLinx controls is to provide a simple and easy
procedure for linear conveyor system commissioning. The Auto-Configuration Procedure requires the use
of EasyRoll on a PC.

Linear Conveyor Definition
Auto-Configuration is only applicable to a Linear Conveyor arrangement. A Linear Conveyor arrangement is
defined as a single uninterrupted path of conveyor with no merge or diverts mechanisms. A Linear Conveyor
can include curved sections, but the flow of cartons on the conveyor is continuous from in-feed zone to
discharge zone. A networked ConveyLinx solution can control more complex conveyor paths that include
diverting and merging equipment by utilizing external PLC/PC control and/or on-board ConveyLogix
programming.
