Interroll Smart Solutions
DC Platform

Smart: Interroll DC Platform
NEW:
Economical solutions
with 48 V

From standard applications to systems with Industry 4.0 functionality:
The new DC Platform has the perfect solution to any request.
Many system integrators and plant constructors face the challenge of how tocost-effectively create a tailored system with plug-and-play solutions. The new
DC Platform from Interroll is a high-performance technology platform that does
just that. It offers – from a single supplier – an innovative, coordinated rangeof technological solutions, all based on years of development and testing.

48 V

The DC platform’s new capabilities of producing
effective zero-pressure-accumulation (ZPA) conveyor
solutions are apparent from the electrical voltage alone:With its 48 V technology, Interroll is capitalizing on thetechnical evolution taking place in protective extra-low
voltage solutions. 48 V systems facilitate the use of up to
50 percent fewer power units than 24 V systems; they
allow for longer cable lengths and smaller wire crosssections and reduce the number of error sources,
for instance as a result of voltage drops on thewires. This significantly reduces theinvestment required in the entire systemand the risk of errors duringcommissioning.

Interface

BusNEW:
Ready for Industry 4.0
with bus interface

Ø50/60mm

Data transparency: Thanks to the new bus interface,
more than 100 parameters can be selected and set. Thebus interface is based on the CANOpen standard and paves theway for the fully automated world of Industry 4.0. In combination
with the multi-protocol capability of MultiControl BI (for PROFINET,
EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT), this means that users can always
visualize the data and functions on the screen using the PLC ora web interface. As such, the current operating status, torqueand temperature of each and every drive can be read out.
The built-in service life indicator, for instance, facilitates
preventive maintenance, which can be completed
during quieter periods of operation. This, in turn,significantly increases the availability andefficiency of the system.

NEW:
Precision positioning for
robotic applications
The bus interface not only enables the newRollerDrive EC5000 to read out operating
data, but also facilitates millimeter-accurate
positioning. Automated processes are perfectlysupported and efficiently integrated, without
the need for additional cabling. This makes theinterplay between the conveying technology and systems deploying robots orgripper arms much simpler.

Compact switching-mode power units
The robust switching-mode power units with IP54 protection rating are installed exactly where the protective
extra-low voltage is needed, rather than in the switch cabinet, allowing for much shorter cable lengths. The
space-saving switching-mode power units in 24 V or 48 V have a 50 percent higher peak output and feature
integrated brake chopper, automated power limit and adjustable cable protection. They can also produce
an integrated analysis of the status, either via LED or a signal cable to the programmable logic controller (PLC).
A switch that can be secured against being turned back on allows maintenance work to be carried out on individual
sections of the conveyor while other sections are still in operation.
