Acquire Image Tool Properties Once the controller is identified, you must specify the digital outputs from the controller that will be wired as inputs to the controller dirver. The following output signals are used by ACE PackXpert: l On/Off: Used to turn the belt on and off. When the signal is asserted, the belt is expected to turn on. l Fast/Slow: Relative speed of the belt. When the signal is asserted, the belt is expected to move faster. This allows for 2 levels of speed control. l Reverse/Forward: Direction of the belt. When the signal is off, the conveyor is expected to travel in the nominal direction representing normal part flow through the system.
The Fast/Slow and Reverse/Forward signals are optional. If they are not used, then the signals should be set to 0. Belt Control Settings After the belt control signals are defined, the user needs to configure how those signals will normally be used. This is done in the Process Manager editor under the Process Strategy settings: Once selected, navigate to the belt object in the Process Strategy Editor: ACE Reference Guide, 18317-000 Rev A Page 654
