Product Description
3 Product Description
3.1 Use and application
The VBA-4 4A-G20-Z J/M3L-P10 motor control module is an AS-Interface connection
module for controlling 1 or 2 DC roller motors. The module is optimized for ITOH Denki
PM ... X /XP motors, but can also be used for compatible DC motors.
To record statuses in the field environment, the module also has 2 inputs for 3-wire sensors
with PNP outputs or for mechanical contacts. The input characteristic of the inputs corresponds
to type 1 in accordance with N 61131-2.
The motors are supplied with power via an external auxiliary voltage. Sensors are supplied
from the AS-Interface. The auxiliary voltage is supplied to the motor control module via a 2
nd
flat cable in addition to the AS-Interface flat cable.
■ The permissible auxiliary current is 18 V ... 30 V.
■ The sensor power supply may be loaded, in total, with 100 mA.
■ For each motor, a maximum current load of 5 A is permitted briefly (< 2 s).
Figure 3.1 VBA-4 4A-G20-Z J/M3L-P10 motor control module
ssential function and application characteristics of the motor control module are:
■ Compact housing for direct mounting in support profiles or cable ducts
■ Connection of the motors/sensors via cable outputs with M8 connectors
■ Piercing technology with gold-plated contact pins for contacting the AS-Interface flat cable
■ Function displays for the bus, external auxiliary current, status information, inputs, and
outputs
■ Communication monitoring
■ Configurable start/stop ramps for motor control
■ Supply of the connected motors from the external auxiliary current
■ Supply of the connected sensors from the AS-Interface
