Downstream Interlock (Lane Full)

Interlock with the most downstream zone to turn on an output tell it to stop when something shows up (Lane Full) and then get an input to see if the last downstream zone is occupied

On a newly Auto-Configured linear conveyor without any intervention from external signals, if an item is on the conveyor, it will convey to the last downstream zone and try to continue on. Whichever side (Left or Right) is on the Downstream Side of the ConveyLinx module will accept a Lane Full signal input on its interlock input. When a digital signal is applied to the Interlock Pin, the zone will still run its motor to accept an item but it will stop and accumulate when the item reaches the sensor.

*When the Interlock Pin is used on the Downstream side, the cycling off and on of this signal generates an “Arrival” in the module logic and thus prevents an Arrival Jam

*For more sensor-based ERSC information please view the Control Ports topic. Also available: “How to hook up PLC I/O to Control Port”, and “How to add Lane Full to the most Downstream zone with a single sensor using EasyRoll+ “ are topics in the ERSC Family Complete Guide manual that will provide additional information on ConveyLinx ERSC modules wiring for this behavior
