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
 |
Wires used to connect smart devices to a red network. |

Wires used to connect smart devices to a green network. |
 |
The most basic chest connectable to Circuit networks. |

A chest connectable to Circuit networks and participating in the Logistic network. |
 |
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
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.
The example on the picture contains condition: "Work only if the count of Alien science pack is lower than 50."
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.
