Driver for CompactLift G2#
The CompactLift Shark Control Module is designed for the controlling the Weland Vertical Lift "CompactLift". It requires the Weland software CompactTalk to be installed on the server (where Shark Control is running) to work.
The following options are supported:
- Pointer
- Twin
Twin mode#
Twin is a feature that allows a tray to be fetched while another one is in the opening. It is fully supported by SHARK from build 1599.
The Twin mode can only be activated when the CompactLift is idle. This means no trays in opening or elevator. This means that if SHARK is restarted with trays in the opening, the might be problems in changing the mode. The Logimat left the LogiDual mode, if SHARK is restarted.
Configuration of the Twin mode:
1. A global flag, called UsePrefetch, must be enabled to support the LogiDual mode.
Setting the "prefetch" flag, makes the system generate a list of the next expected trays to come. The is used by the Twin feature to prefetch trays.
2. For each CompactLift, the Twin mode must be enabled. It can be done by the CompactLift configuration panel or directly in the Registry|:
How to test Twin#
It is possible to check if Shark Control is able to fetch twin mode trays by a simple command that can be reach using the telnet interface or from the Device Server screen.
The command is called "Dual \<tray>, \<next tray>
For example:
This will fetch tray 3 and tray 4 as dual mode tray from the CompactLift called "011".
