Induct Forward value is used to cause the MDR to continue to run after the zone’s photo-sensor has been blocked when receiving a carton from upstream.
This value is adjustable per zone to compensate for special conditions when for example a zone’s photo-sensor needs to be placed farther upstream from the discharge end of the zone |
Induct Forward Time
Enter new values for upstream and/or downstream Induct Forward time and click the corresponding Set button. The default is 0 seconds and the valid range is 0 to 65 seconds. The Set All button will apply these same settings for the range of modules indicated at the top of the dialog. In this example we are changing the Induct Forward time to 1.00 seconds for both the upstream and downstream zones and updating this setting to Nodes 3 thru 4 |
Induct Forward Distance
Select Distance from the drop down box and enter new values for upstream and/or downstream Induct Forward pulses and click the corresponding Set button. The default is 0 mm and the valid range is 0 to 65,535 mm. The Set All button will apply these same settings for the range of modules indicated at the top of the dialog. In this example we are changing the Induct Forward distance to 100 mm for both the upstream and downstream zones and updating this setting to Nodes 3 thru 4 |
