The method can be triggered by using the magnetic key or by a function in the web server. After the Teach-in has been completed, all modules are in ZPA mode. If a setting in the first MultiControl is changed before the procedure, then the MultiControl are in the selected Control program after the Teach-in procedure.
To start the teach-in process, the magnetic sensor must be actuated. When the ➢ magnetic sensor detects the magnetic key, the "Fault" LED lights up permanently. After one second, the LED bar on the left side of the MultiControl starts a running ➢ light.
Re-actuate the magnetic sensor. If the LED "RD 4" is lit, remove the magnetic key. ➢ If RollerDrive are connected to a MultiControl, but no corresponding zone sensors, they are detected as Slave RollerDrive. The Slave RollerDrive of a zone turn un a pulsing fashion. The Slave RollerDrive are assigned by activating the corresponding zone sensor.
If the sensor settings are changed and the ZPA program is desired, this must be set via web browser. If sensors do not match the factory settings of the MultiControl, it is possible to change them with the help of the magnetic key: Actuate the magnetic sensor.
➢ the magnetic sensor detects the magnetic key, the "Fault" LED lights up permanently. After one second, the LED bar on the left side of the MultiControl starts a running ➢ light. As soon as the LED "Sensor 1" lights up, remove the magnetic key and wait until ➢...
After the LED “RD 1” lights up, the MultiControl is ready to receive configurations. This mode has no time limit. It may be cancelled only by re-starting the MultiControl. Always prepare only one MultiControl for reception! Otherwise all the prepared units will get the same configuration.

Process data 8 Process data The process data is divided into two parts: the process image of the inputs and the process image of the outputs. The addresses given in this chapter are to be understood as an offset to the start addresses specified in the configuration of the PLC.

First, the error outputs of the connected motors are returned. In this case, a logical ONE at the input means "Motor is Error state". To prevent unused motor connections from creating any errors, the connections should be deactivated, even if MultiControl is used as I/O device. Second, the set values of the motors are output.
The last part of the process image of the inputs is subdivided into five subsections: • Control Inputs • Control Outputs • Handshake-Signals • Zone status • Global signals These input signals have no meaning for the use of MultiControl as I/O device. Operating and Programming...
Process data 8.2 Process image of the outputs The process image of the outputs is divided into three parts: • Digital I/O • Motors • Additional Signals Digital outputs The digital outputs are located in the first part process image of the outputs. The outputs can be directly switched by a PLC only if the I/O is set to "2: PLC-Output".
Page 88
To set the speed, switch a percentage value between 5 and 100 according to the table ➢ below to the "Speed" output at the "RD" connection of MultiControl. (Values not listed can be interpolated in a linear way.) To reverse the direction of rotation, use negative values between -5 and -100.

Interface Box for VDC Motors 10 Interface Box for VDC Motors The interface box is the interface between the MultiControl and the VDC motors of the transfer or the HPD. The MultiControl is powered by the Interface Box. The two motors and the external power supply with M12 plugs are connected to the interface box.
Pins 1 and 2 must both be connected with + 24V. Pins 3 and 4 must be connected to 0V. Power RollerDrive of MultiControl is connected to the interface box as standard. Power Logic can be optionally connected by the customer.
