Introduction
2-channel motor controller box for roller conveyor systems
The EP7402-0167 EtherCAT Box provides two outputs with integrated MDR controller for direct connection of 48 VDC roller motors or other BLDC motors with max. 3.5 A. Eight additional digital inputs/outputs allow the connection of e.g. light barriers and the communication between the modules in PLC-less operation.
The EP7402-0167 takes over the complete control of the roller motor irrespective of the manufacturer of the conveyor or the motor. The connection is made directly to the three phases of the motor. Maximum nominal current, start-up or deceleration ramps as well as various other parameters can be configured, which allows wide adaptation to different applications. The motors are controlled without sensors.
Measuring just 174 mm x 60 mm x 36.5 mm, the IP67-rated EtherCAT Box can be easily mounted in standard side profiles on the conveyor frame. It does not require an additional protective cover. Power supply and EtherCAT communication are done via a B23 ENP connector with a current carrying capacity of 28 A / 45 °C. In pure conveying mode, the EP7402-0167 can also be operated without a PLC and provides functions such as ZPA (Zero Pressure Accumulation), singulated or train release.
EP7402-0167 does not provide overtemperature detection of the motor.
Notice | |
Brake chopper required Overvoltage peaks can occur on the supply voltage UP which can destroy the device. The overvoltage peaks occur during braking operations of the motor or by manually moving objects on the roller conveyor.
