7.1.3.1.3. GAP Train Release

All 3 Cartons are Accumulated
When Carton 1 releases and Zone 2’s GAP time has expired, Carton 2 will begin to release. Carton 3 remains accumulated
When Carton 2 releases and Zone 3’s GAP timer has expired, Carton 3 will begin to release
When you select Gap Train from the ZPA Mode drop-down box; the Gap Timer data entry box and Set button are enabled. Simply enter the desired time value and click the Set button to update the value in the selected Node. In this example we entered 0.35 seconds

!Please note the GAP time does not create a gap or cause any delay when items are in transportation. The Gap timer is only activated when a given zone accumulates an item and then it is allowed to release

*If more than one consecutive zone is configured as Gap Train; then each of these zones will in turn require that their respective gap timers expire. If the time value is long enough, the result may appear to be Singulation Release mode or even Singluation Release with extra time delay. 0.2 to 0.3 seconds are typical values used when you want to help balance the loading on your power supplies but still have the operation be very close to Train Release Mode
