Product Description
3 Prod ct Description
3.1 Use and application
The VBA-4E4A-G20-ZEJ/M3L-P9 motor control module is an AS- nterface connection module
for controlling 1 or 2 DC roller motors. The module is optimized for nterroll EC310 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 EN 61131-2.
The motors are supplied with power via an external auxiliary voltage. Sensors are supplied
from the AS- nterface. The auxiliary voltage is supplied to the motor control module via a 2
nd
flat cable in addition to the AS- nterface 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-4E4A-G20-ZEJ/M3L-P9 motor control module
Essential 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- nterface 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- nterface
3.2 Ho sing
The housing is made entirely of plastic, except for the hinge pins for the hinged cable guide.
The housing consists of following main components:
•a mounting base with embedded electronics
•a folding guide cage as a cable guide for the AS- nterface flat cable
