7.2.9.4. Lane Full Interface

A special case of the accumulate signal for the most downstream zone is referred to as Lane Full Interface. This is used when you want to simply continually discharge items onto non-ConveyLinx controlled conveyor and by-pass the normal ConveyLinx ZPA singulation release functionality. .

You set this up by connecting a sensor (or PLC output) to the most downstream zone’s AUX input and then selecting Lane Full Interface(DI) for the corresponding AUX input in EasyRoll. Enabling the Lane Full Interface automatically Disables the Arrival Jam
When AUX input is energized, the ConveyLinx-ECO module starts its Block Timer. During the period that the AUX input is energized and the Block Timer is timing, items will continue to discharge from the most downstream zone
When the Block Timer expires, the most downstream zone will stop releasing.
When the AUX input is de-energized the ConveyLinx-ECO module starts its Clear Timer. During this period when the AUX input is de-energized and the Clear Timer is timing, items will not release from the most downstream zone
When the *Clear Timer” expires, the most downstream will begin releasing items again

In our example, the Right AUX input is where the Lane Full sensor is wired. We entered 5.00 seconds for the Block Timer and 6.25 seconds for the Clear Timer

*If you enter 0 seconds for the Block and Clear Timers, the Lane Full Interface AUX Input signal essentially turns into an “on/off” switch for allowing release from the most downstream zone
