Push to Target Sequence (V20 Onwards

The sequence change looks to address how the gate shields react to a Target Line operation and the Bank Push operation has be altered when a Target Line is set. The Following shows the push to target sequence for the Gate End Shields. The Gate End shields are set as previous after a completed sequence.

A Target Line is set before the Shearer leaves the gate and before the Run of Face Shields advance. The Run of Face Shields then advance to achieve a Conveyor Push to the desired position.

The problem with regard to the BP Protect limit being exceeded is still present but if a Target line is active the protection will be ignored between the last conventional Shield and first run of face shield. This will allow the push to become active. Without an active Target Line the protection will remain active.
