Figure 9: “DL24-LVC Front and Rear View”
The EXE-Drive Motor Controller was designed to manage up to 4/8/16/24 chain hoists that are electrically
compatible, either separately or simultaneously, which are controlled through switches located on the front
panel or using a wireless pushbutton panel. The GO/STOP buttons can be connected with a link connector.
The unit is equipped with automatic cyclic sequence control of the input supply phases. This module controls
the main voltage of 400V ±10% AC and the star configuration. If there is a problem with the voltage, the user
will be warned and the unit will not move with any hoist. Plus, if a cable is disconnected, the Motor Controller
will stop to insure maximum safety.
The Motor Controller does not work in the following situations:
A phase is missing
There is an under-voltage situation on the power lines
There is an over-voltage situation on the power lines
All electrical components have UL/CSA and CE certification and are compliant with European Directives. The
components are housed in a 19 inch Rack powder coated robust steel case. The complete unit has CE
marking and is compliant with the standards/directives shown in the Declaration of Conformity attached to this

2.4. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The Motor Controller was designed and built to simultaneously or individually manage from 1 to a maximum of
4/8/16/24 electric chain hoists that are electrically compatible. It can be operated in two modes:
DIRECT: the Motor Controller will only operate with the commands located on the front of it.
REMOTE: the Motor Controller will only operate with the commands located on the pushbutton panel.
On the Motor Controller, only the emergency STOP button is enabled in both modes. In the event of a
failure or emergency, this button allows you to shut off the voltage to the Motor Controller command
circuit and, at the same time thanks to a release coil coupled to the main switch, to move the switch to the
OFF position and completely shut off the system, putting it in safe mode.
PICKLE: the Motor Controller supplies power but does not operate the electric chain hoists. In PICKLE
mode, operation occurs locally and only on a single hoist using a PICKLE XCLH1 pushbutton panel.
Never use the up-down selectors to invert the direction of the motors while pressing the GO button. This could
be very dangerous to yourself and others.
An example of the front panel of the Motor Controller XDDL4-LVC is shown below. The model XDDL8-LVC
differs only in the number of chain hoists that can be connected to them.
Figure 10: “XDDL4-LVC Front View Description”
POWER (ELECTRIC SUPPLY): indicates the status of the power supply.
- RED: phase misalignment, missing phase, undervoltage or over voltage - check the network.
- GREEN: there are no power supply problems, the Motor Controller is functioning.
STATUS: indicates the status of the LEDs on the Motor Controller and remote unit.
ORANGE: indicates that the Direction switches are active on the remote unit.
RED: the GO button is pressed on the front panel or on the RC-x remote digital unit.
GREEN: the unit is functioning normally / E-stop and RESET are not necessary.
E-STOP: indicates the state of the LEDs for the E-stop functions:
- ORANGE: state after the E-stop of the loading cell - press/release the E-STOP to reset the state
- RED: E-STOP condition received from the line

Rev. 03 del 17/09/2018 Pag. 13 / 40
- RED FLASHING: The emergency STOP button is active on the base unit
- GREEN: The unit is functioning normally / E-stop and RESET are not necessary.
EMERGENCY STOP: is a red button. After the STOP button has been pressed, the system is locked in an
inactive position and to restart it, the button must be turned clockwise. The system must also be RESET.
GO: is a white button. When it is pressed, it runs all of the selected channels and the related electric chain
hoists move. When the GO button is pressed again, power to the motors is cut off.
DIRECTION SWITCHES: allow you to change the direction of each electric chain hoist individually or in a
group. The movement direction is signalled by a LED located near the switch.
PICKLE POWER: lets you power and not run the electric chain hoists. With the switch set to ON, operation
occurs locally and only on a single hoist using a PICKLE XCLH1 pushbutton panel. Local operation is useful
for taking up the slack on the chains of the individual hoists before running them simultaneously.
The XDDL16 / 24-LVC models differ from the XDDL4 / 8-LVC for the following functions:
PICKLE: This function is activated via a key selector as shown in Figure 10-b. The selector must be placed in
the Pickle position.
GROUP STOP: This function is activated / deactivated with the GROUP STOP DISABLE button (Figure 10-b).
The color is orange when the function is off.
Figure 11: “Pickle e Group Stop function”
An example of the rear panel of the XDDL4-LVC is shown below. The other models differ only in the number
of electric chain hoists that can be connected to them.

4. MOVEMENT AND INSTALLATION
During movement and package removal of the EXE-Drive Motor Controller, safe handling techniques must be
used. Motor Controllers must be assembled by qualified technician. Always consult the local directives and the
use and maintenance manual. Whenever the Motor Controller is intended to be used outdoors, a protective
covering must be used to protect it from the weather. This cover may also be protection against fine sand.
4.1. MOVEMENT & TRANSPORT
The customer must perform a careful quantitative check of the Motor Controller and its components at the time
of delivery and make sure no parts were damaged. Any damage that occurred during transport is the
courier/shipper’s responsibility. The packaging must be disposed of in an ecological manner. Make sure all of
the paths and areas intended for handling are free of obstacles.
4.2. TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
We recommend transporting the Motor Controller in its original package or in a custom-made flight case.
Before positioning the Motor Controller in storage, make sure all parts are dry.
Use flight cases with vents for all compartments and do not pile more than two cardboard boxes containing the
Motor Controllers coming from the factory.
A operator must be present when moving the merchandise using machinery such as a forklift. The packaging
materials such as plastic bags and styrofoam must not be disposed of in the environment but must be saved
to repackage the Motor Controller after use.
STORAGE
The merchandise is packaged in such a way as to ensure protection against possible damage. This packaging
must be stored in a dry area away from humidity and heat, with temperatures between -20°C and +40°C. If the
Motor Controller does not work at the first startup, immediately put it back in its packaging and keep it in a
covered, dry, and clean area away from heat sources that could compromise its integrity.
UNPACKING AND MOVING THE MOTOR CONTROLLER ON THE FLOOR
Remove the EXE-Drive Motor Controller from its package and make sure the information shown on the data
plate are the same as on the transport document and that no damage was caused by inadequate transport.
Perform the following checks:
- make sure the connectors and cables are not damaged;
- check the integrity of the body of the Motor Controller;
- make sure there are no dents or cracks;
- make sure there are no water infiltrations.
If damage due to shipping is found, return the transport document along with the box or flight case containing
the damaged Motor Controller in order to be able to open the claim.
Any claims related to damaged Motor Controllers must be presented within 48 hours of receipt of the
merchandise. In any case, it must be stressed that every part of the Motor Controller is checked thoroughly
before it is packaged and shipped to the customer.

5. USE
Electric chain hoists connected to an EXE-Drive Motor Controller may be activated individually or
simultaneously using the GO button located on the front panel or wirelessly by remote or in pickle mode. The
units may be connected together to create larger systems.
5.1. ELECTRIC WIRING
Before connecting the EXE-Drive Motor Controller to electric power distribution, make sure
the voltage and power of the mains corresponds with what is stated on the data plate. Also
make sure the earthing system is efficient.
Operators must have a derivation circuit with a earthing system to ensure protection against current overloads
and short circuits and that meet the requirements set forth in the safety laws and protection of health in the
workplace in the country in which the EXE-Drive Motor Controller is installed.
In order to prevent the risk of electrocution or malfunction, make sure all of the power supply cables to the
EXE-Drive Motor Controller are protected from any external dangers.
The IP20 protection rating indicates that when the EXE-Drive Motor Controller is used in open areas it is not
protected, therefore adequate protection of the entire body of the Motor Controller is necessary.
Changes, adjustments, and electrical and technical regulations may only be performed by
authorized, skilled staff.
