ABSTRACT:
A system and method for a rail assembly ensures that the correct arms are connected to the correct receivers. Each arm has a unique associated arm code, and each receiver is assigned a unique receiver code based on the job to be performed by the rail assembly. After the arms are connected to the receivers, a processor compares the receiver code of each receiver with the arm code of the arm inserted in that receiver. If the two codes do not match, the system generates an alert to notify the user of the improper connection. The alert may be an audible alert, a visual alert, and/or an operational stoppage of the rail assembly.
