➢ restart. Immediately contact qualified personnel to determine the cause of the fault. ➢ Maintenance Since it is a maintenance-free product, it is sufficient to check the MultiControl regularly for ➢ visible damage. Never open the MultiControl! ➢ Unintentional start up Ensure that the connected RollerDrive / motors cannot start unintentionally, especially ➢...
Safety related information 2.6 Interfaces to other devices When integrating the MultiControl into a conveyor system, danger spots may arise. These danger spots are not part of these operating instructions and must be analysed during the development, installation and commissioning of the conveyor system.
Safety related information 2.8 Additional documentation The MultiControl is part of the Interroll DC platform, consisting of: • Power control • RollerDrive • RollerDrive-Control Follow the instructions in the manuals of the connected devices. The supplementary document "Interroll MultiControl - Operating and Programming" contains further notes on the operating and programming of the MultiControl.
Product information 3.1 Product description The MultiControl is a conveyor control system that can control up to four Interroll RollerDrive. It is also a certified I/O device for PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT and can thus be networked with other MultiControls and a PLC.

In the event of damage in transit, inform the transport company or Interroll immediately in ➢ order not to lose any claims for damages. Do not expose the MultiControl to extreme temperature changes, as this can lead to the ➢ formation of condensation.
To attach the MultiControl to the conveyor frame, first attach the enclosed base plate to the conveyor frame. There are two holes in the base plate for mounting the MultiControl. For the first installation, the left holes should be used.

Place the MultiControl on the left-hand bore and press until the lock engages. ➢ Screw the MultiControl to the base plate (tightening torque: max 2Nm). As a result, the ➢ piercing contacts are driven through the flat cable and made the contact with the power supplies.
Assembly and installation Repeated assembly If an already connected MultiControl has to be detached from the base plate, the flat cables must not be contacted again at the same point, as otherwise proper contact cannot be ensured. So that the flat cables do not have to be loosened and moved on all MultiControl, the MultiControl can in this case be fastened via the respective right-hand mounting hole.
MultiControl or the bus line. ➢ Make sure all components are properly grounded. Improper grounding can lead to static charge, which may result in failure or premature failure of the MultiControl. ➢ Provide suitable switching and protective devices that enable safe operation.
By using two flat cables, the RollerDrive and the sensors / logic are powered separately. This enables safe switching off of the RollerDrive without losing the bus communication. To use the MultiControl as a spare part in existing systems, a FK distributor can be used (see "Accessories").
Assembly and installation Seal the ends of the flat cables with end caps to achieve IP54 protection. ➢ Mount the MultiControl on the base frame to establish the correct contact bonding (see ➢ „Initial assembly“, page 16). Connect cables to the voltage source. Connect the brown wire to L + and the blue wire to ➢...
If a connection remains unused, seal it with an M12 dummy cap to achieve IP54 protection. ➢ On both sides of the MultiControl it is possible to connect the shielding of the bus cables. This minimizes EMC problems. Version 3.0 (08/2018)
Connections are not short-circuit proof In the event of a short circuit, in particular between pin 1 and pin 3, the internal fuse (PTC) in the MultiControl triggers. Normal operation is possible again after the internal fuse has cooled down.
Assembly and installation Characteristic values for the outputs Output Type DC General Use Maximum output current ≤ 200 mA Output voltage „1“ with PNP > 15 V @ 200 mA Output voltage „1“ with NPN ≤ 5 V @ 200 mA If a sensor connection remains unused, seal it with an M8 dummy cap to achieve IP54 ➢...
Make sure that the base plate of the MultiControl has been properly fastened to the ➢ profile, that the MultiControl has been correctly fixed to the base plate and that all screws have been tightened properly. Ensure that the interfaces to other components do not create any additional danger areas.
Initial start up and operation 6.3 User interface The MultiControl has an integrated web server that generates a user interface for configuring the MultiControl. This user interface can be called up via a computer connected to the MultiControl. Except for a web browser, no additional software needs to be installed on the computer.

To operate the magnetic sensor, a magnet is required (see "Accessories", page 57). The magnetic sensor is located at the top of the MultiControl, between the two "R" of the word "INTERROLL" just before the base plate (see "Structure", page 10).
➢ Before switching on the power supply, make sure that there are no persons in the danger areas of the conveyor system. If the MultiControl acts as an I / O device, it cannot automatically start or stop motors or perform other actions. It requires commands from a higher-level controller, e.g.
Initial start up and operation 6.7 Procedure in case of accident or malfunction Immediately stop the conveyor system, de-energize it and secure against unintentional ➢ restart. In case of an accident: provide first aid and make an emergency call. ➢ Inform responsible supervisor.
In the course of regular inspection and maintenance work on the conveyor, make sure that ➢ the screws of the MultiControl are still tightened and the cables are still correctly routed and connected to the corresponding connections. Replace the MultiControl If a MultiControl is damaged or defective, it must be replaced.
Damage to the MultiControl due to improper cleaning ➢ Do not immerse the MultiControl in liquids. If necessary, vacuum dust and dirt. ➢ For more thorough cleaning, disconnect the MultiControl from the power supply, remove it ➢ and clean it with a damp cloth. Version 3.0 (08/2018)

Troubleshooting Power Ready Fault Meaning Priority Flashes Voltage error overvoltage Flashes Temperature in the MultiControl too high. Flashes Overload protection of the brake chopper resistor active. Flashes Handshake communication disturbed. See the instructions for ZPA and ZPA + applications. Flashes No connection to the neighbour.
8.2 Troubleshooting The MultiControl is a complex system. There are many correlations between all participants in the system. In such a system, of course, errors can also arise, which can result either from the conveying processes or from the interaction of the individual components. Not all errors can be displayed in detail and a correlation between the location and the location of the display is not always possible.
