  • Page 15: Product Information

    Product information Product description The ZoneControl is used to facilitate zero pressure accumulation conveying, meaning that goods are transported without coming into contact with each other. To achieve this, the conveyor is sub-divided into zones. One zone consists of a RollerDrive, several idler rollers, a ZoneControl and corresponding sensors. Zero pressure accumulation conveying is achieved by there being only one product in every zone and by the zones retaining the package until the downstream zone is detected as being „free” by the corresponding sensor. When accumulation occurs, a signal is transmitted upstream to retain the next package. A gap is always left between the goods being transported so that no accumulation pressure occurs.
  • Page 16: Functions

    Feedback of energy / Overvoltage protection If the RollerDrive is stopped by the ZoneControl or if the speed is reduced abruptly, the kinetic energy of the package is regeneratively converted into electrical energy in the motor. This energy is then fed back into the ZoneControl, resulting in increased voltage in the DC-net.
  • Page 17: Temperature Protection

    If operational conditions mean that the brake chopper is switched on so often that the upper temperature limit of approx. 90 °C (measured internally) is reached, then the ZoneControl switches off. If temperature protection is active, this is shown on the LED display. When the ZoneControl has cooled down, the RollerDrive restarts automatically when a signal is pending.

  • Page 36: Zonecontrol At The End Of The Conveyor Section

    Assembly and installation ZoneControl at the end of the conveyor section 1 Zone sensor 2 Button: External signal at the ZONE_START input When the package has reached the sensor in the last zone it is stopped by default. An external signal must be given at the ZONE_START input of the last zone to discharge. This can be a switch (refer to the example in the diagram above) or an external control (PLC). The signal can be switched in NPN or PNP mode. The status of the last zone is given by the ZONE_STATUS output. If there is no package in the relevant zone sensor’s detection range and the ZONE_START signal is active, the RollerDrive does not rotate. Depending on signal length and discharge mode (single or train release) either one or more packages will be released.
  • Page 37: Connection Of The External Speed Control

    An external SPEED signal can be connected to control the speed of the whole conveyor externally. The signal should only be connected to one ZoneControl, as it is transmitted via the PTP connection to all other ZoneControl. The position of the ZoneControl within the conveyor and the cable length of the PTP connection is immaterial.

    If the function DIR_RET is to be used in the application, connect the DIR input of the DriveControl 20 to the ¾ DIR_RET signal of the ZoneControl and on the DriveControl 20 set the DIP switch DIR in such a way that the RollerDrive is rotating in the correct direction.
  • Page 39: Initial Startup And Operation

    Danger of crushing of limbs and damage to goods! Ensure that no unauthorised persons are near the conveyor before switching on the operating voltage. ¾ The ZoneControl is initialised after the operating voltage has been applied. The ZoneControl is then brought into a defined basic state and packages that are not within the detection range of a sensor are transported onto the next zone sensor. The RollerDrives in unoccupied zones rotate and RollerDrives in occupied zones do not rotate. The start and end zones are automatically detected if they are wired correctly. Initialisation mode takes 4 seconds. During the...

    Initial startup and operation Speed setting Internal speed setting on the ZoneControl Requirement: The external SPEED input is not connected or in-active. Set the required speed using the DIP switches (see table). ¾ It is not possible to stop the RollerDrive by connecting ground to the external SPEED input.
  • Page 41: Speed Setting Via External Analog Signal

    Set the speed of the RollerDrives by changing the external signal within a range of 1 to 10 V. Changes to the ¾ signal will only be applied if they differ by at least 0.1 V from the previous value. Set the external signal to 0 V to enable the internal speed setting by the DIP switch. ¾ The specified analog speed applies to all zones of the ZoneControl conveyor. External influence on zero pressure accumulation conveying The ZoneControl has two control signals to specifically influence the otherwise automatic conveyor process: • ZONE_START • ZONE_STOPP These signals enable the current conveyor logic of a zone to be interfered with to the extent that locally generated START-STOP processes can be integrated easily and simply into the parallel running global ZPA conveyor process.
  • Page 42: Zone_Start

    Initial startup and operation ZONE_START The ZONE_START signal is the input signal of the handshake function of the ZoneControl. The associated signal output is ZONE_STATUS (siehe „ZONE_STATUS”, Seite 22). • Connected to the first zone of the conveyor: • The start signal leads to the RollerDrive in the first zone starting, providing that the zone sensor is not occupied. • If the zone sensor is occupied, the RollerDrive will not be started. • If the signal is active while a package is conveyed into the first zone, the RollerDrive will continue running until the package reaches the sensor (resulting in no Time-Out)..
  • Page 43: Complete Clearing Of A Conveyor

    If the DIR_RET signal is active parallel to the CLEAR signal, all of the connected RollerDrive rotate in the opposite direction than set by the DIP switch. DIR_RET and CLEAR must be connected to the same ZoneControl. The DIR_RET signal is only effective during CLEAR.

    Switch off the power to the ZoneControl and ensure that it cannot be unintentionally switched on again. ¾ Decommissioning Remove all cables from the ZoneControl. ¾ Loosen the screws that have been used to attach the ZoneControl to the conveyor frame. ¾ Remove the ZoneControl from the conveyor frame. ¾ Disposal The operating company is responsible for disposing of the ZoneControl according to correct procedure. In doing so, the industry-specific and local provisions for disposing of the ZoneControl and its packaging must be observed.
