2 General Notes
2.1 Motor Cable & Connection Header
CAUTION: If a longer motor cable is required only use 24 inch
motor extension cables obtained from Automation Controls
Group (ACG P/N 301135). A maximum of two (2) motor
extension cables may be used. The motor’s maximum speed will
decrease by approximately 2% for each motor extension cable
used.
UniDrive® motors and controls are designed to operate together as
a complete and compatible drive system. Proper care must be
taken to prevent damage to the control, motor and connection
cable.
UniDrive® motors come with a permanent, built-in power & control
cable having a 20 inch cable length for connection to compatible
ACG controls. See the specific UniDrive® motor or PowerCube™
specification sheet for details. Do not attempt to connect the motor
cable to any control other than a control manufactured by
Automation Controls Group (ACG).
Do not put tension on the motor cable connection. This could result
in intermittent motor connections.
The motor connector is designed to be installed on the control and
then remain connected to the control for the life of the motor. Do
not remove the motor connector from the control except in the rare
instance of motor or control replacement.
Power to the control and motor should be removed by turning off
or removing input power at the source (Lock-out & Tag-out
preferred). The motor connector must not be used as a power
on/off switch.
Do not disassemble the motor cable. If the motor cable becomes
damaged obtain a replacement motor.
2.2 +24V DC Power Input Connection Header
CAUTION: Power must be applied with proper polarity to
avoid potentially damaging the control. Follow the pinout
shown in Table 2: Sensor Connections Pinout.
A 2-pin Phoenix PT1.2/2-PVH-3.5 plug is supplied. The control
operates off a +22 to +28 Volt DC power supply. The control reads the
configuration switches only when the unit is powering up. Make the
power connection only after all other connections have been made.

2.6 Configuration Switches
NOTE: The configuration switches are read only
during power-up. Set the switches before
delivering power to the control.
The control reads the configuration switches only when the
unit is powering up. To change a setting, disconnect input
power, set the switch, and then reconnect power. The OFF
position is to the Left and the ON position is to the Right (See

2.7 Upstream Cable Connection
This RJ-25 connector is intended for use with a 6-wire
modular phone cable to connect to an adjacent upstream
ZoneLogix control. See Section 5.3 for information on the 6-
Wire Modular Cable Orientation. The Modular RJ-25 Cable is
not provided.
2.8 Downstream Cable Connection
This RJ-25 connector is intended for use with a 6-wire
modular phone cable to connect to an adjacent downstream
ZoneLogix control. See Section 5.3 for information on the 6-
Wire Modular Cable Orientation. The Modular RJ-25 Cable is
not provided.
2.9 Mounting Plate/Heat Sink
This component is for mounting the control assembly to the
conveyor frame using two ¼ inch (6.35 mm), bolts to keep
the controller cooler.
CAUTION: If mounting the control on a curved section
of conveyor, use washers between the mounting plate
and the conveyor frame. This is to assure that the
mounting plate is not distorted, causing damage to the
enclosed printed circuit board assembly.
2.10 Cover
CAUTION: Removal of the cover will void the warranty. The
cover does not make the control waterproof or dustproof.
The cover can help reduce the severity of damage to the
control from foreign objects.

3.6 Configure the Rotation
Identify the proper direction of rotation for the motor shaft
in order to move objects from the upstream (entry) end of
the conveyor towards the downstream (exit) end of the
conveyor.
The direction of rotation is defined when viewed from the
back side of the motor with the shaft extending away from
the viewer.
§ For P clockwise rotation set Switch 1 to the ON position.
§ For Q counter-clockwise rotation set Switch 1 to OFF.
NOTE: See Switch 1 in Error! Reference source not found..
3.7 Configure Braking/ZMH or Coasting
When DIP Switch 8 (SW8) is placed in the OFF position,
motor dynamic braking will be used to bring the motor to a
stop as quickly as possible.
When DIP Switch 8 (SW8) is in the OFF position, Zero Motion
Hold (ZMH) will also be active so that if the motor shaft
continues rotating due to inertia, increasing current will be
applied to the three motor phase windings in an attempt to
hold the motor shaft at the requested stop position.
When DIP Switch 8 is placed in the ON position, the motor
will be allowed to coast and no motor braking will be
applied.
3.8 Configure Communications
Make the peer-to-peer communication/handshake
connections. These controls pass request and permission signals
between adjacent zones over the 6-wire modular RJ-25 phone
cables. See Section 5.3 for information on the cable orientation.
§ At the exit end of the conveyor, leave the downstream
peer-to-peer RJ-25 connection (item 8) unconnected.
§ Connect one end of a 6-wire phone cable to the Upstream
Peer-to-Peer RJ-25 Connection (item 7) and then connect
the other end of the phone cable to the downstream phone
jack on the adjacent upstream control.
§ At each adjacent intermediate control, connect another 6-
wire phone cable to the Upstream Peer-to-Peer RJ-25
Connection (item 7) and then connect the other end of that
cable to the downstream phone jack on the adjacent
upstream control.
§ At the entry zone control at the most upstream zone, leave
the upstream peer-to-peer RJ-25 connection (item 7)
unconnected.

ZoneLogix Control, ACG P/N 301216 July 23, 2021 Page 8
3.9 Connect User Input/Output
3.9.1 Entry Zone
1. Use Smart 1 Input (a PNP input called request) to notify the
control that there is a parcel ready for input to the zone.
If the zone is not already occupied, when this signal is active,
it will cause the zone to run.
The signal may be provided by any number of alternative
sources such as a PLC, a simple switch, a photo sensor, etc.
as long as the input voltage is above 18 volts when active.
2. Use Smart 2 Output (a PNP output called permission) to
notify an external device that the zone is empty and ready to
receive a parcel.
3.9.2 Intermediate Zone
An intermediate zone is between two adjacent controlled
zones.
NOTE: Do not connect anything to the Smart 1 Input
or the Smart 2 Output in an Intermediate Zone
3.9.3 Exit Zone
1. Use Smart 1 Input (a PNP input called permission) to notify
the control that it has permission to discharge a parcel.
The signal may be provided by any number of alternative
sources such as a PLC, a simple switch, a photo sensor, etc.
as long as the input voltage is above 18 volts when active.
Note that when permission is removed the zone will attempt
to stop any discharge that may be in process.
2. Use Smart 2 Output (a PNP output called request) to notify
an external device that the zone is occupied and ready to
discharge a parcel.
3.9.4 Slug & Reverse Slug Input Operation
1. Use Slug Mode (a PNP input) to override all logic internal to
the control and force this zone and all upstream zones to run
regardless of whether they are occupied or empty. Slug
Mode is sometimes referred to as Jog
NOTE: When this signal is active, parcels will be
pushed off the end of the conveyor if there is
nothing in place to receive them.
2. Use Reverse Slug (a PNP input) in one of two ways:
§ Alone: Assert it by itself to cause the zone and all
upstream zones to coast. The motors will not be
energized and will not provide any active braking power.
§ In Combination: Assert it in combination with the Slug
Mode input to override all logic internal to the control and
force this zone and all upstream zones to run in the
reverse direction regardless of whether they are occupied
or empty.
3.9.5 Analog Speed Control Input
Use the control’s Analog In+ and Analog In- inputs in
combination to provide a 0-10 V differential signal that
overrides the settings of the speed control DIP switch.
If the voltage differential is less than 0.5 VDC, the
control ignores the analog input and the control’s DIP
switch speed settings will prevail.
If the signal is 9.5 VDC or higher, the control operates
the motor at its maximum speed setting.
Automation Controls Group has available a manual
Analog Speed Control Module (ACG P/N 300128) for
use with this control for manually setting the same
motor speed on up to 10 zones.
To provide the required differential Analog Speed
Input voltage using a PLC, the PLC Analog Output
Module you select should be able source and sink a
minimum of 20mA.

4 Special Functions
4.1 Configuring the Control as a BMC
In certain applications it may be necessary to eliminate the motor
Run-On-Time which is a part of the Search & Rescue function (see
section 4.3 below). To accomplish this, the control can be
configured as a Basic Motor Control (BMC) or standalone motor
control. To accomplish this implement the following steps;
1) Place control DIP switch 3 in the ON position (slide the switch
to the right)
2) On the GREEN 3-pin sensor connector, wire the sensor input
(center pin) to the sensor + voltage (pin on the right).
3. Apply a 24Vdc signal to the Slug Mode input (I/O pin 2) to
start and stop the motor.
4. When the Slug Mode input goes high then I/O pin 4 will go
high to indicate that the motor is running.
5. I/O pin 4 will float at approximately 13Vdc when it goes “low”.
To force I/O pin 4 to go to 0Vdc, connect a 10K ohm, 1/2W
resistor between I/O pin 4 and 0Vdc.
4.2 Zone Hold Input
When the zone hold input (I/O pin 7) goes active, prior to an
object reaching the primary (downstream-edge) sensor, then that
object will be held in that zone and will not exit while the zone
hold signal remains active.
All objects in the upstream zones will also be held while the zone
hold input is active.
When an object is actively exiting the zone hold input will have no
effect on that object exiting.
4.3 Search and Rescue
This function has been added to the control in order to avoid
situations where parcels could become stranded between photo
sensors, creating a nuisance at the very least. This function is
active after the following events:
§ During Power Up
§ After Discharge of a Parcel from the Downstream Edge of a Zone
§ After Removal of a Slug Mode Signal (if Reverse Slug is Not Active)
§ After Removal of a Rev Slug Signal (if Slug Mode is Not Active)
4.3.1 During Power Up
When power is first applied, each control goes through a self-
check and reports its firmware revision as described in 5.2
Firmware Version Display.
Beginning at the Exit end and then flowing zone by zone after
very brief intervals to avoid creating high inrush current at the
power supply, each zone then runs for a period of time (Run-
on-Time), or until a parcel arrives at the respective zone
sensor, whichever comes first.
In this fashion, any parcels that may have been stranded
between sensors when power was removed are discovered
and will then be processed by the conveyor in either ZPA or
ZIP control mode as determined by the switch settings.
NOTE: 2.5 seconds is the nominal Run-On-Time when the
controls are set for maximum speed. This time is increased
if zones are set to a lower speed than maximum speed.
For example, if a zone is set to half its maximum speed,
the nominal Run-On-Time is doubled to 5.0 seconds.
4.3.2 After Discharge of a Parcel from the
Downstream Edge of a Zone
It is not unusual for operators who are manually loading
parcels onto a conveyor to place two small parcels in a single
zone. If the zone stopped immediately after a parcel passed
its downstream sensor the second parcel could become
stranded.
Therefore, each zone will operate for the additional period of
time (Run-On-Time) after these events.
This is a local function that directly affects only the zone that
just discharged its parcel.
4.3.3 After Removal of a Slug Mode Signal
(If Reverse Slug is Not Active)
During Slug mode of operation, parcels are not tracked by the
system logic. Some parcels will likely be between sensors at
the time the Slug signal is removed.
Beginning with the zone where the Slug signal was asserted
and cascading upstream, each zone will run for an additional
period of time (Run-On-Time) until either the time expires or
a parcel is discovered.
4.3.4 After Removal of a Rev Slug Signal
(If Slug Mode is Not Active)
Since Reverse Slug causes the zones to coast, parcels that
were in motion will come to rest in more or less random
locations.
Beginning with the zone where the Reverse Slug signal was
asserted and cascading upstream, each zone will run for an
additional period of time (Run-On-Time) until either the timer
expires or a parcel is discovered.

5 Diagnostics & Troubleshooting
5.1 LED Indicators
The control provides four (4) LED indicators shown as item 5
in Figure 1. These LEDs are often useful in diagnosing various
wiring and connection problems. If power is connected there
will always be at least one LED illuminated or flashing. When
no LED is illuminated, there is no power.
5.1.1 Fuse LED (Red)
CAUTION: The control’s internal fuse will not blow under
normal operating circumstances. Inspect all wiring
connections to assure that there are no short circuits.
This LED is off under normal circumstances. It illuminates
constantly if the internal 10 amp internal fuse is blown and
power is applied with the proper polarity. The 10 amp fuse
on the board is not user-accessible. If the blown fuse LED is
illuminated, return the board to your distributor or supplier
for analysis or repair.
NOTE: The control’s on-board fuse is NOT replaceable.
5.1.2 Fault LED (Red)
This LED is off under normal circumstances. If a problem is
detected, it provides one of the following five signals:
§ One (1) flash in 4 seconds: The board has a hardware
problem. Return it to your supplier.
§ Two (2) flashes in 4 seconds: The input voltage is too high.
§ Three (3) flashes in 4 seconds: The input voltage is too low.
§ Four (4) flashes in 4 seconds: There is a problem with the
motor cable or connection. Check to see that the cable is
not damaged and that all of the wires are secure.
§ Five (5) flashes in 4 seconds: control over temperature.
§ Six (6) flashes in 4 seconds: Extreme over current.
§ Constantly ON: The motor is stalled or the sensor is
continuously blocked. Check for mechanical obstructions.
5.1.3 Motor LED (Amber)
§ Constantly ON: Motor current is at the maximum allowed and is
being electronically limited. Check for mechanical obstructions.
§ Flickering: If the motor starts under significant load, the current
may be limited briefly causing the LED to flicker. If the LED
flickers constantly, this is an indication that the motor is
operating at its upper limit and may never reach the full speed.
This is not a cause for concern and no corrective action is
required.
5.1.4 Power LED (Green)
Constantly ON: Power is properly applied as long as the fuse
is not blown.
5.2 Firmware Version Display
Three (3) of the feedback LEDs are used to communicate the
firmware revision of the control assembly during the start-up
sequence.
Each time that power is applied to the board, the green
(power) and red (fault) LEDs will turn on immediately. After
1.0 second the amber LED will flash on for 0.75 seconds
followed by an off period.
An off period of 1.5 seconds represents a decimal point
separating major revisions from minor revisions. An example
is shown below.
This example sequence represents firmware revision 1.2.
When the red fault LED turns off, the startup sequence has
ended and normal operation begins.

6 Safety & Cautions/Warnings
Safety Related:
1) Read and understand the National and Local Regulations that apply
prior to installing and using the control and its associated UniDrive
motor.
2) Contact the manufacturer of the conveyor or equipment this control
and the UniDrive motor are installed on and obtain, read and
understand their installation and safety related instructions.
3) Read and understand the information in this installation manual and
in the control and UniDrive motor performance specifications prior to
installing and using this control and its associated UniDrive motor.
4) Maintenance or repair should only be performed by authorized and
qualified personnel.
5) Maintenance or repair should only be performed after input power to
the control has been turned off. Use of lock-out and tag-out is the
preferred procedure to prevent input power from being turned on
while working on the control and motor.
6) Use of a PELV 24V power supply is highly recommended. A PELV
(Protective Extra Low Voltage) supply is a power source in which its DC
common (0VDC terminal) is connected to earth ground for Safety and
EMI reduction and the output voltage cannot exceed 30Vrms under
normal or single-fault conditions.
7) If a UL/CSA Recognized UniDrive Motor is being used in a UL/CSA
Listed End Application then UL’s Conditions of Acceptability must be
implemented by the End-User. A copy of UL’s Conditions of
Acceptability can be obtained from the Automation Controls Group
(ACG).
8) The control and UniDrive Motor must not be used in a Hazardous
Location
Cautions & Warnings:
1) Properly match the control’s motor selection, using control DIP Switch
SW7, to the UniDrive motor that is being operated by the control.
2) Provide adequate heatsinking for the UniDrive motor to prevent the
motor case temperature from exceeding 70C (158F).
3) Do not touch the motor case during operation, or immediately after
removing input power, as the motor case may be hot. Protect the
operator from accidentally touching a hot motor case during system
operation according to National and Local Regulations
4) Proper care must be taken to prevent damage to the control, UniDrive
motor and the motor connection cable. The motor cable is to be
routed securely away from moving parts or sources of heat. Do not
put tension on the motor cable connection. Do not disassemble the
motor cable. If the motor cable becomes damaged obtain a
replacement motor.
5) The motor connector must not be used as a power on/off switch.
6) The control and UniDrive motor are to be mounted in a location free
from potential impact or other physical damage.
7) 24VDC Power must be applied to the control with the proper polarity
to avoid potentially damaging the control.
8) When adjacent zones are operating from separate 24VDC power
supplies you must connect their 0VDC grounds together. However, do
not connect their positive voltage terminals together.
