Contact System CS400E Bin Programming

We have a Contact System CS400E with a Rotary Bin model CS201 with 90 bins and we're sort of new to programming it and are wondering how we can program the bins so that we can assign a part number to a bin. What happens now is it always goes to the first bin no matter what job we load using a .DNL file.

In order to program each board, we use Unisoft ProntoPLACE to identify the part locations, assembly sequence, etc. The only issue is that there isn't a clear place to define the bin that would like to be used. I thought that the sequence and bin location might be linked, but after arbitrarily increasing all of the sequence numbers, bin 1 was still the first one chosen.

Even after exploring the different menus within the CS400E, there wasn't an obvious place to define the bins.

So is there a way to offset start location so that it starts at a different bin number and sequences up from there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
