The Run After time value is used by the logic for normal zone discharge. This is the amount of time the zone’s MDR will continue run after its photo-sensor has been clear when discharging to the next downstream zone.
| This extra run time allows the zone to run so that the trailing edge of the carton can completely pass the photo-sensor and fully enter the next zone. This value is adjustable to compensate for special conditions where a zone photo-sensor is required to be placed farther upstream or downstream |

*Please note that Run After does not affect throughput rate. A longer Run After time will not prevent an upstream item from entering the zone.
Run After Time
| Enter new values for upstream and/or downstream Run After time and click the corresponding Set button. The default is 5 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 |

Run After Distance
EasyRoll provides the option to change the Run After metric to be distance based instead of time based. When the metric is distance, the value entered is motor pulses instead of seconds
| Select Distance from the drop-down box and enter new values for upstream and/or downstream Run After pulses and click the corresponding Set button. The default is 5000 pulses and the valid range is 0 to 65,535. The Set All button will apply these same settings for the range of modules indicated at the top of the dialog |
