Controller for Brushless DC Motors

ConveyLinx gives users in-depth control of virtually every possible motor driven roller (MDR) application in use today. Out of the box, it functions as a zero pressure accumulation (ZPA) controller for either two PULSEROLLER Senergy motor rollers or two Pulse Gear Drives. This is accomplished by connecting two drive motors, two sensors, supplementary I/O, and a standard Cat 5 shielded ethernet cable to the next downstream card.

ConveyLinx can also be connected to most major brand PLC's using ProfiNet, Modbus, or EthernetIP with all required support files available for download on the PULSEROLLER website. Once a PLC is connected, ConveyLinx can be configured to take control over every zone in the conveyor system. 

ConveyLinx offers the user three levels of control. The first is the default ZPA mode, which allows basic control over motor speed, zone accumulation, internal tracking, and zone communication. Second is PLC mode, in which the card’s default internal logic program is suspended, allowing a PLC to connect and take full control of the card’s I/O and registers. This mode effectively turns the card into a motor starter and I/O block. Third, the card’s internal logic can be suspended, and an operator can use ConveyLogix software to create customized programs with direct downloads to the ConveyLinx controller. This allows the operator to control all motors and I/O, effectively transforming the module into a fully functional PLC. This type of control makes it perfect for controlling the more complex mechanical devices on a system without the use of another PLC.

Users can quickly commission and configure their ConveyLinx controlled system with the push of a button. Changes and updates to the configuration can be made using EasyRoll, a free software program from PULSEROLLER. EasyRoll allows the user to configure a wide range of parameters including timers, roller speed, acceleration and deceleration, direction, and many more features.

PULSEROLLER offers a base ConveyLinx controller, which controls the company's Senergy motor roller, and the ConveyLinx Ai2 controller that controls the Senergy Ai motor roller.
