Page 9: Overview
The TB40 conveyor is used for individual infeed and outfeed con- veyors or for linking conveyor systems. The 24 V EC motor is inte- grated into the drive roller. The TB40 is operated via a program- mable logic controller (PLC). The TB40 can optionally be operated via the MonTurn or MonTouch control unit and parameterized via the MonTouch parameterization unit.
