NEW:
From standard applications to systems with Industry 4.0 functionality: Economical solutions
The new DC Platform has the perfect solution to any request.
with 48 V
Many system integrators and plant constructors face the challenge of how to The DC platform’s new capabilities of producing
cost-effectively create a tailored system with plug-and-play solutions. The new effective zero-pressure-accumulation (ZPA) conveyor
DC Platform from Interroll is a high-performance technology platform that does solutions are apparent from the electrical voltage alone:
just that. It offers – from a single supplier – an innovative, coordinated range With its 48 V technology, Interroll is capitalizing on the
of technological solutions, all based on years of development and testing. technical evolution taking place in protective extra-low
voltage solutions. 48 V systems facilitate the use of up to
50 percent fewer power units than 24 V systems; they
allow for longer cable lengths and smaller wire cross
sections and reduce the number of error sources,
for instance as a result of voltage drops on the
wires. This significantly reduces the
investment required in the entire system
and the risk of errors during
commissioning.

NEW:
Ø Ready for Industry 4.0
48 V Interface
Bus 50/60 with bus interface
mm
Data transparency: Thanks to the new bus interface,
more than 100 parameters can be selected and set. The
bus interface is based on the CANOpen standard and paves the
way for the fully automated world of Industry 4.0. In combination
with the multi-protocol capability of MultiControl BI (for PROFINET,
EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT), this means that users can always
visualize the data and functions on the screen using the PLC or
a web interface. As such, the current operating status, torque
and temperature of each and every drive can be read out.
The built-in service life indicator, for instance, facilitates
preventive maintenance, which can be completed
during quieter periods of operation. This, in turn,
significantly increases the availability and
efficiency of the system.

NEW:
Precision positioning for
robotic applications
The bus interface not only enables the new
RollerDrive EC5000 to read out operating
data, but also facilitates millimeter-accurate
positioning. Automated processes are perfectly
supported and efficiently integrated, without
the need for additional cabling. This makes the
interplay between the conveying technol-
ogy and systems deploying robots or
gripper arms much simpler.
