4.1 Use and Application
TheVBA-4E3A-G20-ZEL/M1L-P2motor controlmoduleisan AS-Interfaceconnectionmodule
for controlling one or two DC roller motors. The module is optimized for type Rulmeca RDR
BL3 motors.
Torecord statuses in the field environment, the module has two inputs for three-wire sensors
with positive-switching output (PNP) orfor mechanical contacts. The input characteristic of the
inputs corresponds to type 1 according to EN 61131-2.
Themotors and the sensors are supplied with power via external auxiliary power.This auxiliary
power is supplied to the AS-Interface flat cable of the motor control module via a second flat
cable.
■ The permissible auxiliary power is 18 V......30 V.
■ The sensor power supply may be loaded, in total, with 500 mA.
■ For each motor, a maximum current load of 5 A is permitted.

Product Description
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
■ Insulation piercing technology with gold-plated contact pins forcontacting the AS-
Interface flatcable
■ Functiondisplaysforthe bus, external auxiliary power,status information, inputs, and
outputs
■ Communication monitoring
■ Configurable start/stop ramps for motorcontrol
■ Supply of the connected components from the external auxiliary power
4.2 Housing
Thehousing ismadeentirelyof plastic,withtheexceptionof the hingepinsfor thehingedcable
guide.
The main components are
■ A mounting base with electronics encapsulated in casting resin
■ A folding guide cage as a cable guide for the AS-Interface flat cable.

4.3 Indicators and OperatingControls
Figure 4.3 Status indications on the motorcontrolmodule.
The operating status of the motor control module is displayed via 12 LEDs.
Note!
Additional Flashing Codes during Module Configuration
Thefollowing status informationrelates onlytothe normalmodeof themotor control module.If
you set themotor control module toconfigurationmodefor parameterization, this is indicated
bymultiple LEDs flashing. Details can be found in the "Commissioning" chapter.
Status Indication for Start/Stop Ramps
Once the AUXexternal auxiliarypower has been switched on, themotor control module first
shows the number of the stored start/stop ramp. For ramps 1 to 7, the ERR2, IN1, and IN2
LEDs indicate a numerical value in binary code byshort flashing. ERR2 LED is the highest
value bit. The LEDs flash five times for 50 ms each time.
If no start/stop ramp is stored, the six MOT1 ... IN2 LEDs flash.
For moreinformation onthe start/stop ramps, see "Configuration of Start/StopRamps" in the
"Commissioning" chapter.
