An extremely useful function of the module diagnosis is the possibility of having
the relevant parameters and the part number and serial number of the connected
rollers displayed in a dialog window. As soon as the mouse is moved over the
picture of the respective roller, the information is displayed; see figure 32.

8.4.4. Configuration of the upstream/downstream zone
If you have selected the node that you would like to examine and/or modify, you
can select the settings.
The drop-down menu for “ZPA Mode” shows all of the available selection options.
Singulation is the default configuration. Descriptions of the Train and GAP Train
modes can be found in the chapter “Selecting the ZPA Mode”.
Clicking “Run” causes the motor roller of the zone to run in the preset direction.
Clicking “Accumulate” puts the zone into accumulation mode: The next load that
reaches this zone is stopped and held there until the button is clicked again to
cancel accumulation mode.
Choosing a new setting from the “ZPA Mode” drop-down menu changes the
mode of the zone with immediate effect. If you wish to set all of the upstream
zones for the train of nodes that you have entered in the “Node No.” fields, click
“Set All”.
You can also proceed in the same way in the “Downstream Zone” area of the
main window to adapt the settings for the downstream zones.
