• Entry Gate ID – A Configurator specified unique ID number for each Entry Gate.
• Entry Gate Distance – The location, in meters, to the center of the vehicle where the
leading edge of the vehicle is considered clear of vehicles and their payloads on adjoining
paths. Applies to all vehicles as they enter the switch regardless of vehicle direction. The
default is 0.0 (no entry gate, see Node Clearance Distances and Entry Gate Positions on
page 27).
The vehicle size that is configured on the Motor Defaults page is used to update this
value automatically once a Path is selected.
NOTE: If the Entry Gate position (based on the vehicle length) calculated by the
Configurator is further from the node than the length of the path, a warning
similar to the one shown in Figure 24 on page 22 is displayed.
• Consecutive Vehicle Limit – For each entry path, this limit applies to downstream
motion through the switch. For these entry paths, this limit defines the number of vehicles
that are allowed to traverse the path downstream when there is a vehicle in cue for switch
access in the downstream direction on the other entry path. Once the specified number of
vehicles has traversed the switch or there are no more vehicles cued, additional vehicles
on that path are stopped and control of the switch is transferred to the other entry path.
Any vehicles in cue on the other entry path can then enter the switch (up the maximum
that is specified for that path if vehicles are now cued on the other path). The default is 0
(no limit).
For each exit path, this limit applies to upstream motion through the switch. For these
exit paths, this limit defines the number of vehicles that are allowed to traverse the path
upstream when there is a vehicle in cue for switch access in the upstream direction on the
other exit path. Once the specified number of vehicles has traversed the switch or there
are no more vehicles cued, additional vehicles on that exit path are stopped and control of
the switch is transferred to the other entry path. Any vehicles in cue on the other exit path
can then enter the switch (up the maximum that is specified for that path if vehicles are
now cued on the other path). The default is 0 (no limit).
