What is a Chain?

See also Basket Sequence - Chain

A chain is a conveyor on which the baskets move one step at the time. It is used for instance when drying times longer than the cycle time are required.
A chain is created by changing the type of the position to Chain.
Changing the type to Chain will ask you to define the number of positions in the chain.
The chain will be displayed as shown.

By default a chain has a chain motor and each chain position is equipped with one infrared dryer.

Normally, the first position in a chain is a transfer position between two Robots. The left robot puts the basket on the first chain position. The right robot then controls the stepping of the chain. When a basket reaches the last position in the chain the right robot takes care of it.
