Circuit network

File:Circuit-network-example-1.png

A basic circuit network usable to fill a chest with a defined amount of items.

Circuit networks are a feature which enables the control of Inserters based on the amount of Items stored in all devices connected to the same network.

Basics

Items

File:Red-wire.png Red wire	Wires used to connect smart devices to a red network.
File:Green-wire.png Green wire	Wires used to connect smart devices to a green network.
Smart chest	The most basic chest connectable to Circuit networks.
File:Provider-chest.png Provider chest	A chest connectable to Circuit networks and participating in the Logistic network.
File:Requester-chest.png Requester chest	A chest connectable to Circuit networks and participating in the Logistic network.
File:Storage-chest.png Storage chest	A chest connectable to Circuit networks and participating in the Logistic network.
Smart inserter	The only inserter connectable to Circuit networks. The condition when the inserter is working is configurable in the menu.

The picture shows a circuit network, that contains over 42 000 coal and 12 000 iron plates.

Recievers

Example condition: "Work only if the count of Alien science pack is lower than 50."

Smart inserter is the only machine that can act depending on the state of the network. When it is connected to the network, it is possible to set up the condition:

• Item this condition should depend on
• Type of the condition (less then, bigger then, equal)
• Value, integral number connected with the condition.

Advanced

Multiple networks

It is possible to establish multiple distinct networks of the same color. Just make sure that there is no wire connection between them and they will be treated as separate networks.
