FlexLink Configura - Manual (Page 13)

Support Module
The Support Module drop-down list will only display the available options for the selected conveyor
system.
CC Foot
When using the Auto Support feature (see below), this is where you enter the distance between the
supports.
CC Beam
When using the T-Support module, this is where you enter the distance between two beams.
Support
With the Support component you place supports manually, one at a time. According to the
valid rules, you can only place the supports in given positions (i.e. never too close to a
drive unit, an idler etc).
To place a support manually,
1. Move the support close to the conveyor until it snaps to it and click.
2. Continue to click once for each support that you would like to add.
Auto Support
The Auto Support component automatically places the number of supports required for
the conveyor system, all in one step. Supports already positioned can be removed
manually by clicking on the yellow triangles.
To use the automatic support feature, select the component and snap it to the conveyor
system.
Note:
If you change system type at this stage, you will have to select new supports. To indicate
this, the buttons Support and Auto Support are deactivated when you select a different
system at the top.
Guide Rail
Guide rails can be placed manually one at a time on the conveyor. You can also let the
program automatically place the number of guide rails required for the system (Auto
Guide Rail, see below).
Before placing the support, click the Settings button.
Settings
Clicking the Settings button will open up the Guide Rail Properties dialog box (see
below), where you do your pre-sets.
