Description

When the Mode is set to 0 or if there is no WhiteList configured on a computer, the Sorter will act as a splitter: items will alternate their output lane each time. The Output property will switch value accordingly.

When controlled by a computer with a Motherboard (Sorter) you can whitelist item(s) or itemgroup(s) and discard the rest out the alternate lane.

Changing Output or Mode via logic or IC can cause an item to get stuck in the sorter until the logic circuit or IC command the Output to either 0 or 1. This behavior is normal. After the first output, the Output variable is set to -1. This is normal behavior and a reset circuit (using logic chips) or Output loop (using IC) will serve the purpose of using the ports properly so long as they send the Output variable after each item enters the sorter.

Data Network Properties

These are all Data Network properties of this device.

Data Parameters

These are all parameters that can be written with a Logic Writer, Batch Writer, or Integrated Circuit (IC10).

Parameter Name	Data Type	Description
Mode	Integer	0 = alternate outputs, 1 = sorter motherboard, 2 = logic mode; Set to 0 by default.
Lock	Boolean
On	Boolean
ClearMemory	Integer?	Writing on this Parameter will reset the ExportCount and ImportCount values to zero.
Output	Boolean	Set manually the output port. Allow to control the Sorter via IC instead of a computer configuration, for example.

Data Outputs

These are all parameters, that can be read with a Logic Reader or a Slot Reader. The outputs are listed in the order a Logic Reader's "VAR" setting cycles through them.

Output Name	Data Type	Description
Power	Boolean
Mode	Boolean
Lock	Boolean
On	Boolean
Requiredpower	Integer	In Watts. The Sorter requires 100W of power to function
ExportCount	Integer	Incremented each time an item stack exit by the rejected Export Slot (as in : every time a non whitelisted item is sorted.
ImportCount	Integer	Incremented each time an item stack enter by the Import slot
Output	Boolean	if set to 0, the next item will exit from the right side slot (while facing the exits side of the sorter). If set to 1, the next item will exit the from the left side.
