ConveyLinx-Ai2/Ai3 Family
The ConveyLinx-Ai2 and ConveyLinx-Ai3 modules provide an additional configuration option. Pin 2 on each of the two Sensor ports’ M8 connector on the Module can function as either an input or an output. The default “out-of-the-box” usage for Pin 2 is “None” or “External Control”. Depending on how the module is configured, the ports can be assigned the following functions independently of each other. Using the Pin 2 Usage section of the Sensors page allows you to select one of the following functions for each zone on the module:
| Functionality | Signal | Description |
|---|---|---|
| External Control | Input or Output | 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 | |
| As Sensor in Reverse Dir. (DI) | Input | Used to when reverse direction sensor is connected for reversing operation |
