Working process

• The material detection module MKS FES uses the level transition detection method. When with material in, the detection level signal should be high, and when no material, the material port level signal goes low. When the system detects a determined transition from high to low level, it will regard it as the material exhausted, then the board executes the pause command operation, and after the replacement of the material, it will continue to print.
