Zero pressure accumulation conveying (ZPA) for systems with a small to medium number of conveyor zones in normal ambient temperatures. Applications with or without PLC, but without fieldbus.Zero pressure accumulation conveying (ZPA) for systems with a small to medium number of conveyor zones in normal ambient temperatures. Applications with or without PLC, but without fieldbus. 20 W, 35 W Power Features • Logic for zero pressure accumulation conveying incl. initialisation • Communication with upstream and downstream zones • Speed adjustment (8-position DIP switch, analogue signal) • Direction of rotation adjustment (DIP switch, external digital signal) • Easy operation without addressing Product description The ZoneControl is a single-zone control for a RollerDrive EC5000 and a zone sensor. The ZoneControl can be used to create stand-alone, zero-pressure accumulation conveyors which require no higher-level control (PLC). Additional functions and communication to upstream and downstream conveyors can be implemented via digital inputs and outputs (I/Os). The advantage is that the ZPA logic is contained in the ZoneControl and does not have to be programmed within a PLC. DIP switches can be used to set the RollerDrive speed and direction of rotation as well as the logic (single or train release). For all ZoneControl connected with each other, the speed can also be changed with an analog signal and a cumulative error signal can be read out. The wiring of the voltage supply is done via switching wire and communication using commercial CAT5 patch cables (Ethernet cable).
