Electronics for roller motors
INTRALOGISTICS – Electronics for roller motors
A wide variety of roller motors are used in conveyor technology to convey and discharge various load carriers. In order to achieve maximum efficiency and throughput, the load carriers are always in motion. All types of conveyed goods with a flat underside can be transported with roller conveyor systems.
INTRALOGISTICS – ELECTRONICS FOR ROLLER MOTORS
The BLDC controllers are of modular design based on a 32Bit STM32 Cortex M0 processor with power stage consisting of gatedriver and N-channel MOSFETs. The power stage is designed for a maximum assumable current consumption of 2A per motor. The external supply voltage is a nominal 48VDC. The processors are connected here with an SPI bus for internal communication. A designated master handles the external CAN communication. HAL sensors are provided for each motor to control the rotational direction and speed.
MAIN CONTROL SYSTEM
A motor controller for two extremely high-performance brushless motors (BLDC motor) is connected to the main controller. One of these motors is used to drive the shuttle, the second one is used to drive the telescope (for pulling the packages in and out). This controller is configured to perform safety-critical shutdown of the system (e.g. maintenance work).
FLAP CONTROL
Another module is being developed for flap control. The flaps (“grippers” or “fingers” of the shuttle) are operated by DC motors. This module contains all intelligence and logic for the sensors (end position reached, current measurement, etc.) implemented in a microcontroller.
The connection to the main control system is established via CAN bus. Additional modularity can be achieved through various assembly variants.
THE APPLICATION
