Radius Settings
Radius settings control how far an RS-ItemMagnet can detect and collect dropped items.
What Is Radius?
The collection radius determines the area around the ItemMagnet where dropped items can be detected.
Items outside the configured radius will be ignored.
Increasing Radius
Larger radii allow the machine to collect items from a wider area.
Benefits:
- Larger collection area
- Fewer machines required
- Better coverage for large farms
Considerations:
- More items may be scanned
- Larger collection zones may overlap
Decreasing Radius
Smaller radii restrict collection to nearby items.
Benefits:
- More precise collection
- Better separation between machines
- Easier farm specialization
Choosing the Right Radius
Small Farms:
Small Radius
Large Farms:
Medium to Large Radius
Industrial Automation Systems:
Use the smallest radius necessary
to maintain predictable item routing.
Troubleshooting
If items are not being collected:
- Verify the item is inside the configured radius
- Verify filters allow the item
- Verify the target container has available space
