LHD_FORK_CTRL
Telescopic-fork load-handling device: single/double-deep reach with an in-position interlock, home proof and load verification.
When to use it
Use LHD_FORK_CTRL when a storage/retrieval machine, transfer car or mini-load carries telescopic forks that reach into single- or double-deep locations on either side of the aisle, and the machine must not travel until the forks are proven home.

Create a free Ri Tech account to download the block. You get the Structured Text body, the Rockwell Add-On Instruction (.L5X), the Schneider Control Expert DFB (.XDB), PLCopen XML, the IEC 61499 function block type (.fbt) and the datasheet.
Every block in the catalogue is free to download, in every format, with no purchase and no card. Browsing needs no account at all; downloading needs a signed-in one, so the block lands in your library and re-downloads whenever you need it.
Source is never published on this page. The implementation is released to a signed-in Ri Tech account — free of charge, but never anonymously.
