  • Page 8: Product Description

    VAZ-2E2A-G20-ZPA1 Product Description Product Description Use and Application Zero Pressure Accumulation (ZPA) During zero pressure accumulation, conveyed product is moved along a conveyor line in a controlled manner and collisions between the conveyed product is prevented. For this purpose, a conveyor line is divided into several sections or zones.
  • Page 9 VAZ-2E2A-G20-ZPA1 Product Description MOT1 MOT2 Figure 2.2 Function of the ZPA Motor Control Module The ZPA motor control module is an intelligent field module that already contains the logic for zero pressure accumulation. It assumes the control of one or two consecutive zones powered by DC roller motors.
  • Page 10 VAZ-2E2A-G20-ZPA1 Product Description Zone coupling The two interfaces for zone coupling (X1, X2) are used for receiving and transmitting information to and from neighboring zones. Additional ZPA motor control modules or other suitable communication partners can be connected via the zone coupling. The electrical signals are compatible with the standard 24 V IOs of a PLC.

    VAZ-2E2A-G20-ZPA1 Product Description Release from downstream zone Conveyor good Conveyor good is stopped has left zone IN (Photo eye) X OUT to downstream zone X IN (Release) from downstream zone Motor after run Figure 2.5 2. Release signal is set before the conveyed product reaches the zone sensor.
  • Page 12: Standard Zpa

    VAZ-2E2A-G20-ZPA1 Product Description 2.2.2 Standard ZPA Conveyed product must have completely left the zone before the next conveyed product may enter. As soon as the outgoing conveyed product is no longer detected by the zone sensor, the release signal is set. This operating mode thereby realizes zero pressure accumulation with single accumulation and single release.
  • Page 13: Enhanced Zpa

    VAZ-2E2A-G20-ZPA1 Product Description 2.2.3 Enhanced ZPA This operating mode implements zero pressure accumulation with block accumulation or block release. A zone will let the following conveyed product enter once the conveyed product located in that zone receives the release signal to leave the zone. This reduces the safety distance between the conveyed product and increases the throughput.
  • Page 14: Transportation

    VAZ-2E2A-G20-ZPA1 Product Description 2.2.4 Transportation In this operating mode, a zone forwards the release signal directly to the zones behind it. At the same time, the release signal also switches on the zone motor. The release is not set independently. Therefore, only a block release is carried out, which does not cause the conveyed product to be separated.
  • Page 15: Long Zone - Single Zone

    VAZ-2E2A-G20-ZPA1 Product Description 2.2.5 Long Zone - Single Zone This operating mode is designed specifically for the operation of a zone in a range of Standard zones or Enhanced ZPA zones that is significantly longer than the surrounding zones. A longer zone like this would negatively affect the throughput of the entire conveyor line because the distance between the conveyed product is primarily determined by the zone length.
  • Page 16: Direct Control

    VAZ-2E2A-G20-ZPA1 Product Description 2.2.6 Direct Control In this operating mode, the DC roller motors connected to the ZPA motor control module can be controlled using external signals. In this way, the ZPA control module can, for example, be connected directly to a PLC that follows its own logic for controlling the DC roller motors. The control signals are transferred via the inputs of the respective zone coupling interfaces.
  • Page 17: Slave

    VAZ-2E2A-G20-ZPA1 Product Description 2.2.8 Slave In this operating mode, the ZPA motor control module functions as a slave to a downstream master zone. Both slave motors are synchronized to the master zone motors. The master zone is extended by the slave. The signals from the rear zone coupling of the master are transmitted by the slave through to the upstream zone.

  • Page 26: Power Supply Connection

    VAZ-2E2A-G20-ZPA1 Installation Power Supply Connection The power supply is connected to the ZPA motor control module via a black AS-Interface flat cable. The permissible supply voltage is 18 V ... 30 V. The electric connection between the ZPA motor control module and flat cables is established via two metal pins using piercing technology.
  • Page 27 VAZ-2E2A-G20-ZPA1 Installation Figure 3.2 Connecting flat cables on the narrow side Connecting Flat Cables on the Wide Side The profile edge is not visible from above. For orientation purposes in the figure below, the edge is shown as a hidden edge drawn with a dotted line.
  • Page 28 VAZ-2E2A-G20-ZPA1 Installation Figure 3.3 Connecting flat cables on the wide side (profile edge as dotted line) Flat Cable Inserted Incorrectly The figure below shows an incorrectly inserted flat cable. The profile edge (2) does not point to the motor control module; the flat cable is therefore inserted with reverse polarity. The flat cable is located on the reverse polarity protection (1) with a curvature, which means that the cable guide cannot be closed completely (mechanical reverse polarity protection).
  • Page 29: Special Requirements When Connecting To A Plc

    VAZ-2E2A-G20-ZPA1 Installation Figure 3.4 Flat cable inserted incorrectly (profile edge as dotted line) Special Requirements when Connecting to a PLC The electrical signals from the zone coupling interfaces are compatible with the standard 24 V IOs of a PLC. The inputs (X1 IN, X2 IN) are galvanically isolated. Therefore, there are no special requirements for the connection of other potentials.
  • Page 30 VAZ-2E2A-G20-ZPA1 Installation Note! The connection of DC roller motors and zone sensors to the ZPA motor control module depends on the circumstances of the zones to be controlled. There are a variety of connection scenarios depending on whether you want to control one or two zones or when changing the mounting side on the conveyor line.

  • Page 35: Operating Behavior

    VAZ-2E2A-G20-ZPA1 Operating Behavior Operating Behavior Switch-On Behavior In the operating modes "Standard ZPA," "Enhanced ZPA," and "Long Zone," the ZPA motor control module waits for the duration of the switch-on delay after the power supply is switched on before it is ready for operation. The only exception is the output of the status of the zone sensor at the relevant interface for zone coupling (X1 or X2).
  • Page 36: Entry Time

    VAZ-2E2A-G20-ZPA1 Operating Behavior Entry Time Entry time = 8 s The entry time is the time required by conveyed product to leave the upstream zone and therefore its zone sensor after the release signal is set. If the conveyed product requires longer than the entry time, the zone will shut down its motor and wait for the conveyed product to disappear from the upstream zone or appear in front of its zone sensor.

    VAZ-2E2A-G20-ZPA1 Manual Intervention in the Conveying Process Manual Intervention in the Conveying Process Manual Feeding of Conveyed Product It is always possible to manually feed conveyed product. When doing so, it is assumed that the conveyed product is placed in front of a zone sensor.
  • Page 38: Manually Correcting Accumulations

    VAZ-2E2A-G20-ZPA1 Manual Intervention in the Conveying Process Manual Release When the switch is closed, the release signal of the downstream zone reaches the upstream zone once again (as long as activated by the downstream zone). The upstream zone can pass on any conveyed product present to the downstream zone.
