Connection of a drive roller with integrated DC motor to an AS-Interface DC 24 V motor starter

With the K60 AS-Interface DC 24 V motor starters for the low-end performance range up to 70 W, it is now possible to connect DC 24 V motors and the associated sensors directly to the AS-Interface quickly and easily.

Three different versions are available:

• Single direct-on-line starters (without brake and reversible quick-stop function)
• Double direct-on-line starters (with brake and reversible quick-stop function)
• Reversing starters (with brake and reversible quick-stop function)

DC motors are connected to the module using M12 plug-in connectors. The sensors and the module electronics can be supplied from the yellow AS-Interface cable. An auxiliary voltage (24 V DC) is only required for supplying the outputs, which can be provided via the black AS-Interface cable.

Quick-stop function

All AS-Interface DC 24 V motor starters feature a quick-stop function which can be switched on and off as required using a switch integrated into the module. The quick-stop function allows a connected motor to be shut down immediately using an applied sensor signal (High). The switch for the quick-stop function is located alongside the input sockets and is protected by an M12 sealing cap.

Brake

The double direct-on-line starter and the single reversing starter versions feature an integrated permanently set brake function, i.e. as soon as the output signal is set to "0", the motor is braked.

Start-up using integrated buttons

Buttons integrated into the module (below the output sockets) can be used to set the motor used. The buttons are protected by an M12 sealing cap.

Note concerning double and reversing starters: If an input with the quick-stop function receives a "High" signal, the corresponding output (e.g. quick-stop input 1 > output 1) is switched off within the device (the motor is braked). The manual key function (Key 1/2) for local operation is only permitted to be used during "CPU Stop" in the higher-level PLC.

Note concerning single direct-on-line starters: If an input with the quick-stop function receives a "High" signal, the corresponding output (e.g. quick-stop input 1 > output 1) is switched off within the device (the motor runs down without being braked). The manual key function (Key 1) for local operation is only permitted to be used during "CPU Stop" in the higher-level PLC.
