Pin 2 on each of the two Sensor port’s M8 connector on the Module is configurable as to its potential function. This pin can function as either an input or an output. The default “out-of-the-box” usage for Pin 2 is “None” or “External Control”. Using the Pin 2 Usage screen from the ConveyLinx Advanced Dialog allows you to select one of the following functions for each zone on the module:
| Item | Signal | Description |
|---|---|---|
| External Control | Input or OUT | Signal does not affect ZPA control and is configurable and accessible by external PLC control |
| Accumulate(DI) | Input | Used to cause local ZPA zone to accumulate |
| Wake-up(DI) | Input | Used to cause causes local zone to wake-up and run its motor to accept a product |
| Wake-up with Timeout(DI) | Input | Same as Wake-up(DI) except the running zone will stop after a timeout if signal remains on |
| Lane Full Interface(DI) | Input | Used to operate the Lane Full Interface discharge control function |
| Module Error Output(DO) | Output | Energizes when there is a module error condition active |
| Product on Zone(DO) | Output | Energizes when the local ZPA zone is occupied |
| Sensor Error(DI) | Input | Used for sensors equipped with a health or error output signal |
| Mirror Pin4(DI) | Input | |
| Extension Board | - | Not Used |
| As Sensor in Reverse Dir.(DI) | Input | Used to when reverse direction sensor is connected for reversing operation |
Depending on how the module is configured, you can independently select which of these functions you want to reside on which of the two available sensor port Pin 2 signals.
