Product Description
2.1
Use and Application
General
The ICA-8DIO4M1-G20-IO* roller motor control module is an IO-Link connection module for
controlling up to four 24 V DC roller motors. The module enables process-specific control of
features including the following on the connected roller motors:
•
Direction of rotation
•
Speed
•
Start and stop ramps
The module is ideally suited for implementing complex conveying tasks. The module is opti-
mized for Interroll EC310 roller motors but can also be used for compatible DC motors, e.g.,
Rulmeca BL3.
Digital Inputs and Outputs
To be able to optimally control the roller motor rollers based on conditions in the field environ-
ment (e.g., switching signal of a light barrier), the module has 8 freely configurable digital
inputs/outputs (PNP). The input characteristic of the inputs corresponds to type 3 in accor-
dance with EN 61131-2. The outputs are resistant to short circuits and overloading.
The module and the digital inputs/outputs are supplied via IO-Link. Each sensor power supply
can be loaded with 200 mA.
For details regarding connection, see chapter 3.5.
Counters
The module has a counter input for connecting an incremental rotary encoder. You can connect
a single- or dual-input rotary encoder with a counting frequency of up to 10 kHz.
•
A single-input rotary encoder is connected to IO1.
•
A dual-input rotary encoder is connected to IO1 and IO2, and takes the direction of rota-
tion into account.
Roller Motors
The roller motors are supplied with power via an external auxiliary voltage. The auxiliary volt-
age is supplied to the roller motor control module via a flat cable.
•
The permissible auxiliary voltage is 18 V to 30 V.
•
The maximum continuous current load for each roller motor is 2.5 A.
•
For each roller motor, a maximum current load of 5 A is permitted briefly (< 2 s).
If a roller motor is connected to a motor output, the output must be configured accordingly. The
following statuses are transmitted via the process data:
•
Roller motor fault
•
Fusing
•
Switching on and off
Note
Inverting the input channels affects the counter. If the counting direction is to be reversed for a
dual-input rotary encoder, one of the two inputs must be inverted.
The counting function has no effect on how inputs are processed at IO1 and IO2. The input
filters are not taken into account for the counting function.
