Product Description
Properties
The ZoneControl is the single zone control for the RollerDrive EC310. The ZoneControl can be used to create
stand-alone, zero pressure accumulation conveyors which require no higher-order control. Additional functions and
communication to upstream and downstream conveyors can be provided via digital inputs and outputs (I/O's). No
DriveControls are needed to set up a conveyor as the ZoneControls include their functions.
Design
The I/O's and voltage supply is provided by a simple switching wire.
information
Communications cable: Conventional Cat-5 cable (IT ethernet cable).
Configuration
The configuration of the ZoneControl can simply be handled by DIP switches. Two versions of conveyor logic are
available: individual or block pull-off.
Functions
•
Logic for zero pressure accumulation conveying (incl. initialisation)
•
Communication with upstream and downstream zones via peer-to-peer connection
•
Speed adjustment
- DIP switch (per accumulation zone)
- External analogue signal (for the entire conveyor system)
•
Adjustment of the RollerDrive's direction of rotation
- DIP switch
- External digital signal
•
LED status indicator
•
Zone sensor connection
•
Start sensor connection
•
NPN or PNP switching logic
•
Switching a second RollerDrive, status reading, starting and stopping of individual zones via I/O's
•
Empty running, error signalling of all connected zones via I/O's
•
All signals relate to mass of voltage supply
