Product flow direction
The correct definition of the product flow direction is very important for visualizing a ZPA logic. The direction of flow is the basis for the design of the ECDriveS® conveyor line. All position-dependent specifications within the ECDriveS® conveyor line relate to the predefined direction of flow. The following figure shows definitions of controllers and conveying zones within the conveyor line based on the direction of flow.
[1] | Most Upstream Zone = First zone of the conveyor line. |
[2] | Most Downstream Zone = Last zone of the conveyor line. |
[3] | Upstream |
[4] | Downstream |
