XTS Tracks
A track is a route that can be used by movers and consists of one or more parts. A part can also occur more than once in a particular XTS Track or be inserted in several different tracks. You can create as many tracks as you like.
To create a track, you must define which parts are contained in this track and in which order the parts occur.
An important setting option is whether the track is closed. With this specification you determine whether the movers have the possibility to drive endlessly in a circle or whether the system has endpoints.
Notice | |
Avoid damage to the product and functional errors Be sure to correctly specify whether you are configuring a closed system or a system with defined endpoints. If the specification is incorrect, the movers may leave the system if it is open. In the case of a closed system with incorrect specification, the movers cannot travel in a circle as usual. |
To determine the correct number of movers when the system starts, you must define which tracks perform the detection. It is important that each part within a track only occurs once in the detection process, otherwise too many movers may be displayed. It is best to use all tracks to detect the movers that are active in your current hardware configuration. You can also set the detection parameters via the PLC.
