9006 Hybrid Control for RollerDrive
Product information
Product description
Features • Zone-to-zone communication: Activities in upstream and downstream zones
are monitored by photoeyes to permit control in various situations.
• Learn Mode: During system startup, the 9006 will automatically set the zone
length and save it, simply by running an object from the upstream photoeye
to the downstream photoeye.
• Diagnostics: LEDs provide motor, sensor, and jam diagnostics as well as
power, fuse, and temperature status.
• Reverse or jog entire system: Switch settings and connections on the board
allow the user to reverse the zone-to-zone logic, jog the entire system, or
reverse or jog parts of the system, or bypass those functions altogether
(default) without the use of external cards.
• NPN or PNP: All inputs and outputs can be switched, collectively, for NPN or
PNP with one switch. Only "No fault output" is always active high (failsafe
function with 24 VDC in "No fault status").
• Multiple dependent RollerDrives in one zone: Up to three RollerDrives c
an
be run from one 9006 (and two dependent cards) to achieve
multiple RollerDrives in a single zone. This signal can also be used by a PLC
as a "motor running" status input.
• Smart braking: Depending on upstream and downstream zone occupancy,
the RollerDrive will brake if needed, and coast if no braking is required. This
saves on power, heat, and vibration in the RollerDrive and ultimately in the
system. When no photoeyes are blocked in the system, all RollerDrives are in
coast mode.
• Dynamic braking: RollerDrive acts like a generator and the 9006 feeds
back current into the RollerDrive windings.
• Zero motion hold: When the 9006 has no start
signal, the RollerDrive
will be held in place.
• Advanced braking: The combination of dynamic braking followed by zero
motion hold provides superior braking and holding for many applications.
Operation modes The operation modes of a RollerDrive c
onveyor with 9006 Hybrid Controls include:
• Standby: The RollerDrives are turned off if the zone is empty.
• Accept: When a load reaches the sensor at the upstream end of the zone, the
RollerDrives turn on to accept it.
• Transfer: The RollerDrives continue to run to ensure that the load entering
the upstream end of the zone is transferred to the downstream end. This
creates a smooth transition and high throughput.
• Discharge: The RollerDrives in the zone continue running to disc
harge the
load if no accumulation command is received from the downstream zone.
