Understanding the Factory I/O scene, part 2: Chain transfer

“

- [Instructor] Now the part that helps in deciding where to transfer the boxes is the chain transfer. The chain transfer is used to transfer the boxes into adjacent conveyors. In our scene the chain transfer is placed between the three conveyors. Now I'm going to go to the pallet window here and then search for chain transfer. So I'm going to grab this one here and then place it in the scene. I'm going to close the pallet window and then I'll drag it a little bit to the side. I'm going to click on the actuators tags to see the tags for the chain transfer. And I'm going to right click and adjust its orientation. The chain transfer has four Boolean outputs one on each side as you can see here. Now I'm going to grab the chain transfer from our scene. So the chain transfer is actually here so I'm going to drag it and then place it beside the one that I just added. I'm going to put them close to each other so we can compare…
