Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0875864A2] The communication circuit uses a pair of interfaces at each station of the post handling machine and a respective data cable extending between each 2 successive stations, allowing the incoming information received by each station to be transferred to the next station. The machine control is programmed to allow the information received by each station to be fed on to the next station via the interfaces and the data cable link, facilitating emergency cut-out of the post handling machine.
