G20 Series Motor Control Modules
Benefits
Tailor-Made for Conveyor Technology
The modules in the G20 series are compatible with all common motorized rollers and offer maximum flexibility for use in conveyor technology. Due to the wide range of variants and protocols, motor control modules with AS-Interface or IO-Link interface and ZPA modules with integrated logic for zero pressure accumulation are available.
Seamless Integration
The compact housing design and the sophisticated piercing technology allow for easy and quick integration of the G20 modules into a wide variety of conveyor lines. The tool-free piercing technology enables the pre-assembly of individual conveyor segments, which can be put into operation directly on site.
Easy Handling
In addition to simple installation, the G20 series impresses with a user-friendly operating concept and a clearly laid out status display. This helps to detect and rectify faults in the system at an early stage.
Increased Cost-Efficiency
As the sensor-actuator cable is already integrated in the module, no additional cables are required for wiring. Depending on the application requirements, motorized rollers can be controlled with 24 V or 48 V; as the 48 V motorized rollers boast a better performance, fewer power supply units can be installed along the conveyor line and potential savings can be fully exploited.
The Optimum Solution for Every Application
The G20 control module for MDRs have an application-optimized, slim design that allows direct installation in the mounting rail of the roller conveyor line. All connection cables for sensors and motorized rollers are already integrated in the module. The flat cable for communication and/or powering can easily be inserted in the last step.
With the available communication protocols AS-Interface, IO-Link, and ZPA as well as the option of controlling either 24 V or 48 V motorized rollers, the G20 series offers maximum flexibility and efficiency in your conveyor technology application!
G20 Series in Use
Unmatched Housing Advantages
The compact motor control modules of the G20 series from Pepperl+Fuchs for controlling 24 V or 48 V DC motorized drive rollers impress with their unique housing concept. Due to their compact design, the G20 motor control modules can be installed directly in the mounting rail of a roller conveyor.
Different Protocols for Maximum Flexibility
The G20 modules from Pepperl+Fuchs are available with different protocols such as AS-Interface or IO-Link, or as stand-alone ZPA units. This means that the optimum solution can be selected for every roller conveyor application.
Compact Housing Design
The housing of the G20 motor control modules is designed to be integrated into the mounting rail in a particularly space-saving manner.
Tool-free Mounting Concept
All modules are equipped with a flat cable connection that enables tool-free installation using piercing technology. Sensor and actuator cables are also integrated into the module, allowing the conveyor line to be set up cost-effectively and without any special prior knowledge.
Pre-Assembly of Individual Conveyor Segments
You have the option of ordering individual conveyor segments pre-assembled together with all modules and settings. In the final step, the yellow flat cable and the sensors are integrated on site so that the system can be put back into operation immediately.
Using the Benefits of IO-Link
The G20 module with IO-Link makes most of its benefits at points with a high IO density, such as buffer zones, sorting points or intersections with elevators, where it ensures a reliable flow of goods. It collects up to eight digital signals and controls up to four motorized rollers simultaneously.
The Optimum Solution for Every Application
The modules of the G20 series have the ability to control the start/stop functionality, the direction of rotation, the acceleration/deceleration, and the speed of the motorized rollers within the conveyor system. Besides, they can also be used to collect digital IOs allowing system operators to choose the solution that fits best for their specific use case.
The Right Solution for Your Conveyor System Application
With Pepperl+Fuchs as your partner in the field of industrial communication, you receive a comprehensive all-round solution for conveyor systems. In addition to the various G20 modules for controlling DC motorized rollers, we offer you the right infrastructure for setting up flexible and cost-efficient conveyor lines.
