Motor type and diameter
The Motor Type is determined by the type of E-roller you are using. The NDW
E-roller series oers three dierent motor types: 100, 200 and 400 RPM. The
BC50 controllers are specifically designed for these motorized rollers. Besides
the motor type, the diameter of the E-roller must be set. This can be done
in the same sub-menu. It is important to set the Motor Type and Diameter
correctly to the used E-roller. By changing these settings, the controller
makes sure the E-roller will run at the desired speed and the correct speed
values are shown on the display.
Speed Settings (SPD)
Within the speed settings, the speed of the rollers can be altered. This is done
by selecting standard ‘set-points’, which are pre-defined speeds. It is possible
to set up to 3 dierent speed set-points, with the speed given in m/s. These
set-points can be quickly accessed and chosen within this menu. In the
controller these setpoints are called “SPD1”, “SPD2” and “SPD3” respectively.
Customizing the set-points can be done in the same menu as selecting a set-
point. These set-points are also used while controlling the controller in IO-
mode. For every set-point, any speed value can be selected (with a resolution
of 0.01 m/s). Depending on the diameter and motor type of the E-roller, a
range of speeds can be selected. The selectable speed range for a 50 mm
diameter roller is shown below. For larger roller diameters, the transport
speed will obviously be higher.

Mode settings (MOD)
The BC50 controller can operate in two modes: Manual and IO-mode. In
Manual mode the controller is fully operated from the UI without external
connections. This is ideal for testing and simple applications. In IO-mode the
controller is operated with external IO signals. This provides more control
during operation of the BC50. When IO-mode is active, the Motor Run and
Speed setpoint become unavailable since these settings are controlled with
IO. The mode of the controller can be selected in the MOD menu.
Device settings (DEV)
The device settings are there to set and check multiple settings regarding
the controller itself, especially its screen and versioning. Settings such as
brightness, contrast and screensaver. However, most of the settings within
this menu can not be changed but contain information about the controller
hardware and software.
PNP/NPN
The controller can operate in PNP or NPN mode. This is related to the type of
IO inputs and outputs of the device controlling the BC50.
