As a four zone controller the Z-Card allows the setup of a high flexible zero pressure accumulation conveyor system with RollerDrive EC200/300 or BT100 in a through going
protection rate of IP54.
Z-Card comes with all necessary cables and plugs go connect RollerDrive, sensors and power supply.
Functions
Zero pressure accumulation control for up to four zones
Speed control by rotary switch
Interface to higher level controls by optical isolated I/Os
Failure output
Logic conversion NPN/PNP
Protection rate IP54
There are two different versions of Z-Card:
1- Z-Card BT, RollerDrive BT100 with a special cable version which includes a plug is directly connected. A very convenient and proven solution for conveyors with fewer
throughputs.
(BT100 with Z-Card BT only with M12 on 11 mm hexagonal on motor side, no end drill and tapped, due to preassembled connector)
2- Z-Card EC, RollerDrive EC200/300 is directly connected with an extension cable.
There is no need for DC-EC200/300. RollerDrive EC100/110 can also be connected; however the
DC-EC100 or HC-EC110 is needed due to the external commutation setup.
The configuration for different conveyer modes is done by a rotary- and slide switch. There are different parameters which must be set up:
Number of RollerDrives/Zones connected
Single- or train release
Single release with PLC stop option
Motor starter without any ZPA logic
Applications
Z-Card is the best fit for lager conveyor systems with zero pressure accumulation logic.
Due to the Protection rate of IP54, Z-Card can be installed everywhere in the system without the need for additional housing. Also the pre-manufactured cable set makes the
installation very quick.
Typical applications are postal- and package handling and similar distribution centers.
