Conveyor systems running at higher speeds, increasing demands placed on the PLC: For a standard task such as stopping products that are being conveyed at a light barrier can cause problems. The light barrier signals are transferred to the motor starter/inverter (MS/FI) via the PLC. As a consequence, the actual position where the products stop can deviate significantly depending on the "utilization level" of the PLC. The consequences include long run-out distances and lost time. However, with the Quick-Stop function, the sensor is directly connected to the MS/FI and the extremely fast and constant evaluation from a time perspective guarantee short and precise stops. Not only this – Quick-Stop is also an extremely flexible function:

It goes without saying that Quick-Stop is fully integrated in the PLC process image. This means that device parameters and signal states are always available.
