G20 Series MDR Control Module

G20 Series Motor Control Modules

The G20 control modules 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!

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.

G20 Series in Use

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.

A Comparison of Technologies

G20 Module with AS-Interface

AS-Interface is used in extensive systems such as conveyor lines with widely distributed sensors and actuators to connect them with a higher-level programmable logic controller (PLC). Each ASi gateway is able to transmit data from up to 62 devices and a cycle time of 10 ms, whereas double gateways can take over up to 124 devices. The yellow flat cable is used simultaneously for the power supply and for bidirectional 4-bit data communication. This reduces wiring effort and ensures a neat system design.

G20 Module with IO-Link

As a communication protocol for process, parameter, and diagnostic data, IO-Link offers the possibility of solving complex conveying tasks with larger data volumes and a transmission rate of 230 Kbit/s (COM3). The motor control modules control up to four MDRs and can support both 24 V and 48 V motorized rollers in one device. A 16-DIO version with 16 freely configurable digital inputs/outputs is also available for digital IOs. Due to the larger data bandwidth, IO-Link brings more transparency and flexibility to conveyor systems, while the integrated data storage function minimizes downtimes.

G20 ZPA Module

The G20 ZPA modules for zero pressure accumulation are suitable for long, straight conveyor lines and loading zones. There they control the infeed of packages on conveyor belts—thus preventing damage and unwanted collisions. The standalone plug-and-play modules with integrated logic operate completely independently and are particularly quick and easy to commission. A total of more than 256 modules can be integrated along a conveyor line. As there is no need for communication via a higher-level PLC, data transmission and response times are minimized.
