QUICK START GUIDE FOR
CONFIGURING THE BC50
Each BC50 controller will be delivered with a default configuration of all
settings (Factory settings). In this section some guidelines will be provided to
ease the initial configuration of the BC50 controller. At any time, it is possible
to restore the controller to its original factory settings if something goes
wrong.
Mount the BC50 controller and connect all required cables such as power,
communication, and E-roller as described in previous sections.
The first step to configure the BC50 controller is to select the type of E-roller
connected. It is important to select the correct Roller Diameter and Motor
Type. This will make sure the E-roller turns at the correct speed. For more
info, see “Speedcode and Diameter” in the Settings chapter on page 22.
Once the correct E-roller is configured, the Direction and Speed Setpoints
must be set. If only a single speed is required for the application, it is
recommended to change Speed Setpoint 1 (SPD1) to the required speed.
If multiple speeds are required, one can set multiple Speed Setpoints. If
desired, you can turn on the E-roller by setting Motor Run to ON. For more
information on setting the Motor Run, Speed and Direction, see the operating
settings on page 17.
If you want to control the BC50 controller with external IO, switch Mode from
Manual to I/O. With this setting active, the controller will actively listen to the
external I/O connections via the communication cable. Note that Motor Run
and Speed Setpoint become unavailable in I/O-mode since these settings are
now controlled with the external I/O.
For more info, see the operating settings on page 17.
When controlling the BC50 without external IO, your device is now completely setup
and ready to use. For control with I/O, please continue to step 3.
Your device is now completely setup and ready to use.

Operating settings
All the settings within the BC50 controller can be easily changed using the
user interface on the integrated display. All the settings and how to change
them are explained within this user manual.
Control using I/O
The BC50 controller oers simple control using the I/O connections. These
can be controlled using an external I/O device or power source (24V PNP
or NPN). Settings such as Motor Run, Direction and Speed can be easily
controlled with this. The pins used for this are the O/Spd1-, Spd2/Spd3- and
the Direction-pin. Furthermore, an I/O Error output can be detected with
your I/O device. The I/O connections are electrically isolated, therefore the
Ground-pin must always be connected when controlling the device via I/O.
To control the device with I/O, set Mode from Manual to I/O in the settings.
Direction setting
When the I/O Direction pin is not connected, the Direction can directly be set
in the controller. Alternatively, to control the direction with I/O, use the “
IO-driven” setting to control the direction according to the table. See also
page 21.
Speed settings
One can turn on the connected E-roller and adjust its speed through I/O
connection. Three pre-defined speed set-points can be used. Using the I/O,
one can easily activate one of these setpoints. The dierent I/O combinations
are shown in the table. If only a single constant speed is required, only O/
Spd1 needs to be connected to switch the E-roller on and o.

The default settings of the speed setpoints depend on the motor type and
diameter of the E-roller. The selectable speed ranges for the ER50 series
are shown in the table. All speed setpoints can be altered with a 0.01 m/s
stepsize.
