The new Interroll DC Platform<br />
With the launch of its new DC platform, Interroll is once again<br />
setting standards in material-handling technology. The range<br />
of perfectly matched RollerDrive, controls and power supply<br />
units enables system integrators and machine builders to<br />
provide an even better fit for their customers’ needs – from<br />
standard applications to equipment with Industry 4.0 or smart<br />
digital manufacturing functionality. The new DC platform has<br />
a solution to match every challenge.<br />
01 The new DC platform − made up of coordinated components<br />
such as the RollerDrive, controls systems, power supplies<br />
and accessories<br />
LOGISTICS<br />
Technology at a glance<br />
The RollerDrive EC5000 is the main component of the new DC platform.<br />
Combined with the control systems, the motor rollers in this<br />
product family are the key component of zero-pressure accumulation<br />
conveyors with individually driven conveyor zones, such as<br />
those used in the MCP. The RollerDrive EC5000 offers the following<br />
technical innovations over the popular and still available Roller-<br />
Drive EC310:<br />
n 48V/24V: Alongside a 24V version, the new RollerDrive is now<br />
also available with 48V technology.<br />
n 20/35/50 watt: Users can choose between three power levels: 20,<br />
35 and 50 watt. The 35-watt version is compatible with existing<br />
RollerDrive Installations.<br />
n Analog or bus interface: The new RollerDrive EC5000 is available<br />
with an analog or a bus interface.<br />
n Tube diameter: Alongside the versions with 50-mm tubes, the<br />
RollerDrive EC5000 is also available with 60-mm tubes for heavy<br />
transport materials.<br />
n Other features: Depending on the conditions in which the system<br />
will be used, you can choose versions of the RollerDrive EC5000<br />
product family with IP54 and IP66 protection and suitable for<br />
freezer applications.<br />
n Controls solution for every application: Alongside DriveControl<br />
2048 for standard applications with few RollerDrive, MultiControl<br />
– a four-zone control compatible with multiple protocols –<br />
offers the right solution for both simple and demanding applications,<br />
from autonomous conveyors with integrated logic to<br />
conveyors with customized PLC programming via fieldbus communication.<br />
n New power supplies − Unpack, plug in and use: The new power<br />
supply units do not need to be installed in the control cabinet.<br />
Instead, the robust devices with protection rating IP54 are mounted<br />
directly where the extra-low voltage is needed, enabling much<br />
shorter cable lengths. All functions of the 24V and 48V power<br />
units can be used straight out of the box. Automatic power limitation<br />
and configurable line protection are integrated, as is status<br />
evaluation via LED or a signal line to the PLC. Individual conveyor<br />
zones can be serviced while others remain in operation<br />
thanks to a switch secured against inadvertent start-up. With a<br />
higher peak output up to 50 percent and built-in brake chopper,<br />
the power supplies are perfect for use with RollerDrive.<br />
