Manual – ECC-DFC field bus controller
8.5.7. Flex Zone
ECC-DFC modules detect automatically if a box is longer than a zone length and
automatically adapt the accumulation control so that the longer box occupies two
logical zones. This prevents a collision between the following box and the longer
box. “Flex Zone” mode operates in both “Singulation” mode and “Train Release”
mode. This tab allows you to either activate or deactivate the function.
NOTICE!
Note that the “Flex Zone” function must be activated or deactivated for the entire
subnetwork. It cannot be activated or deactivated for individual zones or zone
groups in the same subnetwork.
8.5.8. Sensors
The sensor table shows how the sensor has been configured during the first auto
configuration of the system. If, for example, all sensors in the system are stimu-
lated by light and are “light energized normally open”, the sensor of the relevant
zone will indicate “off blocked”. Use this tab to modify the default configuration of
the sensors for each module and adapt it to the given circumstances.
INFORMATION
More information about changing the sensor status or a sensor error status after
auto configuration can be found in the self-help dialog window of the ECShell
engineering software.
