In case of defined situations (e.g. a sequence error or a not-finished product) the request for stop of a conveyor of a production line is sent to the conveyor controller. It is a software module, which is running on a computer connected to a conveyor PLC with a serial line or via Ethernet network.
The conveyor can be stopped in these cases:
- Sequence error
- Not-completed product and the next one is scanned
- NOK result of any operation (settable for each operation separately)
- Timeout for a product on a workstation expired (the product was not finished on a station within the time limit). The settings for a timeout timer is described here: Timeout timer
- Timeout for an inactivity on workstation expired (no action taken on a station within the time limit while the product was not finished)
