Interroll MultiControl
Initial startup and operation
"I/O Device" must be selected here to operate the MultiControl as I/O device. The adjustable
timers 1 to 4 are without effect here and should not be adjusted.
When using the MultiControl with other internal programs, the corresponding program must be
selected here , and the timers 1 to 4 be adjusted to the conveyor system.
Configuration options:
• User interface: "Control Program" menu
• SDO: Indexes see "Application module", page 55
MultiControl has a total of eight inputs and outputs that are divided as follows:
• Four inputs are assigned to sensor 1 to 4.
• Four I/Os can be configured as additional inputs or outputs.
For all eight inputs and outputs, the type (PNP or NPN) and the logic (positive or negative) can
be defined. For the additional inputs and outputs, the function can also be defined (see "I/O
configuration", page 57).
Configuration options:
• User interface: "Digital I/O" menu
• SDO: Indexes see "Inputs and outputs", page 54
For using the motor outputs, it must be specified whether the output should be used and which
motor type will be connected. In the default setting, all outputs are configured for connecting a
RollerDrive EC310.
The settings roller diameter, gear ratio, direction of rotation, speed, acceleration and
deceleration must be adjusted to the conveyor system.
Configuration options:
• User interface: "Motor settings" menu
• SDO: Indexes see "Motor settings", page 53
MultiControl provides the option of partially deactivating the LED indicators. This deactivates the
display of the switching states of inputs/outputs and the RollerDrive.
The status LEDs ("Power", "Ready", "Com" and "Fault") and the communication LEDs ("Link A"
and "Link B") are not deactivated by the setting. A RollerDrive fault is also indicated by the
flashing of the respective LED ("RD1" to "RD4").
Configuration options:
• User interface
• SDO: Indexes see "LED indicators", page 55
• Magnetic sensor: Function 5 (LED "Sensor 2")
MultiControl monitors several boundary conditions (such as voltages and temperature) and can
generate error messages if the limits of these boundary conditions are violated. The error
behavior can be configured.
The following error classes can be set for the error behavior:
• 1 = Ignore: The error is ignored. As a result, it is not shown and not logged.
• 2 = Warning: The error is indicated via the "Error" LED and logged.
• 3 = Normal Stop: The error leads to an immediate shut-off of the motor.
• 4 = Immediate Stop: The error leads to an immediate shut-off of the motor.
