CONVEYOR DRIVE WITH INTEGRATED CONTROLLER

摘要

A drive unit (40) for a roller conveyor assembly having a motor (50) and an integrated motor controller (100). The controller (100) is mounted on a circuit board and connected to the rear of the motor housing (52). A cover (102) for the controller substantially encloses the controller (100). An opening (104) in the cover allows access to a terminal block (106) from the controller (100). The terminal block (106) receives wiring to external devices and to other zone controllers. Wiring between the circuit board for the controller (100) and the motor (50) is performed as a step in the assembly of the integrated motor (50) and controller (100). The motor (50) and controller (100) are configured to be mounted below the rollers and between the side frames of a conveyor assembly. An output shaft (60) from the motor is coupled to the rollers to power the conveyor assembly.
