Power Supply Requirements

The power supply for any and all EZQube modules must meet the following requirements:

• Supplying 24 Volts DC and a minimum of 5 Amperes per module (for Senergy in BOOST mode, 7 Amperes for Senergy in BOOST 7A mode);
• Certified as NEC Class II device;
• Capable of detecting and properly handling short circuits and overload of its DC power output.

Connecting to the EZQube-W Module via the smartphone/tablet app

The EZQube-W module can be configured via the EZQube application for Android or iOS.
Start by downloading the app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, respectively.
Search for EZQube – this is the name of the configuration tool. After the download and installation is complete, start the application. The home screen should look like this:

Connect Directly by Scanning

To connect directly to a module, tap “Scan Barcode” button and point the camera to the QR code that’s either on the module case or inside it on the module PCB (Figure 5).  Note: If you scan the code on the PCB, open the plastic protective cover over it first.

After the phone/tablet scans the code, a pop-up appears with options “Connect”, “Get Password” and “Close”. Note: The “Get Password” option is still inactive.

Tap “Connect” to connect to the selected module. After successfully connecting, the app configuration screen will appear. Note: If the connection attempt is unsuccessful, a  box will appear asking whether you would like to retry connecting. Tap on “Yes”.

Connect by Discover Procedure
If you first want to see a list of all discovered modules in the range, tap on Discover modules. A table appears showing all the available devices.

Here you will see a picture of the module, the module name, serial number, Location (if set, see section General Tab), and firmware version. Tapping on the module will make the box in Figure 5 appear and from then on the connect, the procedure is the same.
After successfully connecting to a module, the configuration screen will appear and the yellow Limit/Connected LED on the module will start flashing:

General Tab
On the General tab screen, you can see:

• the module serial number;
• the available tabs with the General tab selected;
• the Location field, which is empty by default. The Location field is a user-defined field that can be used to display information about the specific module, like the place of the module on the conveyor line, the building the module is in, department number, etc. It is four characters long and accepts letters, numbers, and punctuation marks (characters  32 – 122 from the ASCII table). Once a Location value is added to a module, it stays there permanently. The value itself can be changed at any time. If the entered text string is less than 4 characters, it is padded with zeroes to the left. When a new Location value is entered, the user device disconnects from the EZQube-W and then reconnects.
• the Send Backup button, which is still inactive;
• a picture of the module;
• Password field and “Set” button (still inactive).

RunA Tab

The RunA tab contains settings for RunA of the motor (Run/Stop switch, direction switch, and speed setting dial), a box showing the current measured speed of the motor in the percentage of the maximum possible speed, and settings for motor acceleration and deceleration that affect RunA, Runa, and RunA+B. Note: The measured speed value is only accurate if the Closed Loop box is checked in the “Motor” tab.
Setting the speed, acceleration, and deceleration with the corresponding dials can be done either by selecting and dragging the button along the dial or manually entering a value in the box at the center. For the speed setting dial, the number represents the percentage of the maximum speed of the motor. For acceleration and deceleration, the value entered is in seconds and it can be in the range of 0.1 – 10.0 seconds, meaning it would take the entered amount of seconds for the motor to start and reach the maximum speed.

Run B, A+B Tab

Same as the RunA tab, but for RunB and A+B.

Motor Tab

In the Motor tab, there are 3 settings:

• Brake Mode: selection of the type of brake you want to use with the motor. The options are:
  Method| Description
  ---|---
  Normal| Each of the 3 Motor power transistor circuits in the EZQube-W is internally shunted to the ground after the module has performed its configured deceleration function. The mechanical inertia of the gearbox and the magnetic resistance of the motor rotor provide the holding force. This is the MDR industry-standard holding braking method
  Free| Each of the 3 Motor power transistor circuits in the EZQube-W is internally opened after the module has performed is configured deceleration function. The mechanical inertia of the gearbox provides the only holding force
  Servo Brake| When the EZ-Qube module has finished its configured deceleration function, it remembers the position of the motor  rotor and provides active power to the motor coils to maintain that roller position
  Continuous Torque| When the EZ-Qube module has finished its configured deceleration function, it remembers the position of the motor rotor and provides active power to the motor coils to maintain that roller position. However, if there is a continuous force applied to the motor that results in the roller moving to another position, the new position becomes the “new” stop option and the motor will not try to return to the original stop position.
• Motor Type tab: selection of the motor mode to use. The options are:
  Mode| Description
  ---|---
  Senergy ECO| Mode of performance that provides the highest speed for the selected gear reduction option of the PulseRoller Senergy brand motor roller and gear drive units
  Senergy BOOST| Mode of performance that provides the highest torque for the selected gear reduction option of the Pulseroller Senergy brand motor roller and gear drive units
  Senergy BOOST, 7A| Same as Senergy BOOST, but with a starting current of 7A.
• Closed Loop checkbox – select whether the PI (proportional integral) regulator is used or not. It should be used in order to get a correct speed measurement (displayed in the box in the RunA and RunB tabs).

IO(Input/Output)Tab

The IO tab contains settings for the module inputs and outputs. They are:

• Auto Clear Error: when an error appears, an error flag is set to High. When the error disappears, the flag can go automatically back to low or be cleared manually by stopping the motor and running it again.
• Speed Out: choose whether the Speed Out signal is for PNP or NPN module wiring. (PNP or NPN mode is selected with the Inputs switch at the bottom right.)

For single PNP module wiring:

For single NPN module wiring:

Error Out – choose whether the Error Out signal is for PNP or NPN module wiring.
For single PNP module wiring:
For single NPN module wiring:

• Speed A/D – choose whether the speed is set by the set speed dials in the previous tabs or via the Analog Speed Control input pin.
• Error Type – choose whether the error flag is set High or Low when an error appears.
• Inputs – choose whether the Reverse, RunA, and RunB inputs and ErrorOut and SpeedOut outputs are used with PNP or NPN module wiring. The Use Common option determines whether you want to also use the Common pin with those inputs. Tapping the Show Circuit button shows the module wiring for the currently selected option.

Diagnostic Tab

The Diagnostic tab contains various information about the module.

• Current (not measured if less than 0.5A);
• Module Temperature (not measured if less than 33 degrees C);
• Voltage;
• Overvoltage Counter – how many times since the last boot has the supply voltage exceeded 31V;
• Undervoltage Counter – how many times since the last boot has the supply voltage fallen below 18V;
• High Current Counter – how many times since the last module boot has the supply current exceeded 3,5A.
• Motor Status field – a hexadecimal number representing the current motor status. For details, click the View Details button.

This screen contains information for any current motor errors.

Diagnostic Log Tab

The Diagnostic Log screen shows a list of the different errors that have occurred since the last module boot. It is divided into two parts – Motion Diagnostic (for motor errors)  and System Diagnostic (for system errors). If an error occurs, a message will appear in one of the tables describing the error. After the error condition is over, another message  appears announcing the end of the error condition. For example, if the motor cable is unplugged, a message appears under “Motion Diagnostic” reading “Motor fault occurred”. After the cable is plugged back in, another message appears reading “Motor fault over”. Messages are displayed with the newest one appearing on top of the list.  Note: You have to refresh the screen by swiping down to see the new entries.
There are two options for displaying the time at which an event occurred – Relative Time and Absolute Time. Relative Time shows the time elapsed since the event occurred.
Absolute Time shows the date (DD/MM/YYYY) and time (HH:MM: SS) the event occurred.
