It would be great if all the movements of the chain transfer unit are controlled by IO’s, now I need to program an extra function just to interact with my software.  
IO1 - Rollermotor -  
IO2 - Rollermotor +  
IO3 - Lift chainconveyor  
IO4 - Sink chainconveyor  
IO5 - Chainmotor -  
IO6 - Chainmotor +  
IO7 - Endpositionsensor chainconveyor down.  
IO8 - Endpositionsensor chainconveyor up.

Morning . I have the same comment. I need to simulate the chain up/down from my plc logic. Does anyone know about this?

Are there any plans to add additional information or control to the chain transfer?
