PART VII | LESSON 28: THE DRAWING IS THE PLAN MATERIAL HANDLING ACADEMY

DRIVING QUESTION Can every trade build their scope from this drawing without calling me?

Plan view of the Riverside outbound system read as callouts by trade, with a belt-speed callout ringed in gold tagged controls, a dashed pull cord E-stop path tagged electrical, a scan sensor with a mounting angle, a disconnect at the 480V panel, an Aux I/O module at an accumulation zone, and a PLC delay note at the merge transfer.

The same system, read as callouts by trade. The gold ring marks the belt-speed callout, the one most often left off.
