3 Product information
3.1 Components
Overload protection
The EC5000 has multiple overload protection systems:
Blockage detection (Only in Velocity Mode)
If the RollerDrive is blocked, it tries to overcome the blockage with 2.5 times the nominal torque.
If this does not succeed, an error signal is set after 20 seconds and the RollerDrive goes into freewheeling mode.
The error signal is automatically reset after 10 seconds.
Behavior of the EC5000 AI: If the setpoint is still present, the RollerDrive tries to start again.
Behavior of the EC5000 BI: The RollerDrive is ready to be acknowledged.
At a temperature of the internal motor electronics <70 ° C and a motor speed of <300 min-1, the
blockage detection and heavy running detection are additionally pulsed with 1 second 4 times the nominal
torque and 2 seconds 2.5 times the nominal torque.
WARNING
Crushing hazard
From a torque of 3.75 Nm (roller diameter 50 mm) or 4.5 Nm (60 mm) static forces> 150 N occur.
(see tables on pages 30 to 32)
Temperature monitoring
The temperature of the motor installed in the RollerDrive is monitored in addition to the temperature of the motor
electronics. If the maximum permitted temperature is exceeded, the RollerDrive is switched off and an error signal is
issued. Once the overheated components have cooled down, the error signal will be reset.
How the EC5000 AI behaves: Once the target value is reapplied, the RollerDrive attempts to start again.
How the EC5000 BI behaves: The RollerDrive is ready to be acknowledged.
WARNING
How the EC5000 AI behaves with overload protection:
The signals from the overload protection functions are automatically reset. If the target value is still applied, the
RollerDrive may start up again unintentionally.
¾ Troubleshooting must be carried out via the control system.
If the power supply system fails, the holding brake will no longer take effect as the brake is not mechanical.
If motor control systems are used without a voltage limiter (brake chopper), it must be ensured that the
power supply units used are suitable for energy recovery (up to 35 V / 60 V).
We recommend using the Interroll High Performance power supply units.
CAN bus communication enables, among other things, the actual values of the RollerDrive to be read out (monitoring),
including:
• Number of starts/stops
• Operating hours (ready for operation)
• Runtime (time during which motor is rotating)
• Minimum temperature
• Maximum temperature
• Actual temperature
• Number of quick stops
• Average power
• Number of revolutions
So-called health indicator lights and service life indicator lights have also been integrated, which can be evaluated via
the connected Interroll MultiControl BI or a connected PLC.
Green The RollerDrive has not yet reached its expected service life.
Yellow The RollerDrive has reached its expected service life. Replacement is recommended.
Red This status is not used.
Temperature
Power
Frequency of errors
The frequency of the following errors is monitored within a specified time frame:
• Heavy running
• Stall timing
• Overvoltage
• Undervoltage
The indicator lights are used purely for information purposes and do not result in the shutdown of the
RollerDrive.
The signals can be evaluated and processed via the connected control system.
For the positioning mode, the direction of rotation “clockwise” (default setting) must be selected in the
default settings!

CAUTION
Risk of injury from improper transport.
¾ Transport operations must only be carried out by authorised, qualified personnel.
4.2 Storage
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to improper storage.
¾ Ensure that the RollerDrive is stored safely.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
When using the RollerDrive EC5000 48 V DC, it is possible that in generator operation (motor revolution
14.500 min-1 / gear reduction) the permissible contact voltage of 60 V DC at the open connector is exceeded.
¾ Do not drive unconnected RollerDrive from the outside.
For the RollerDrive EC5000 24 V DC, exceeding the permissible contact voltage is only theoretically
possible.
CAUTION
Risk of crushing due to rotating parts.
¾ Do not place your fingers between the RollerDrive and the round belt/PolyVee belt.
¾ Install protective equipment (e.g. Interroll PolyVee finger guard) to prevent fingers from getting caught in the
PolyVee belt or round belt.
¾ Affix suitable warning notices/pictograms to the conveyor.
NOTE
An improper approach to installing the RollerDrive can lead to material damage or reduce the service life of the
RollerDrive.
¾ To preserve the interior of the RollerDrive, do not allow the RollerDrive to fall or for it to be used in an
improper fashion.
¾ Check each RollerDrive before assembly for any visible damage.
¾ To prevent the inner connections from being damaged, do not hold, carry or secure the RollerDrive by the
cable.
¾ Do not use force to insert the RollerDrive into the side profile. It must be inserted gently into the side profile.
¾ Pay attention to the correct tightening torque of the RollerDrive hexagonal nut to prevent the shaft in the
side profile from rotating and the RollerDrive cable from twisting (see „Securing the RollerDrive in the side
profile“ on page 43).
¾ Do not twist the RollerDrive cable.
NOTE
Internal parts of the RollerDrive can be damaged through improper handling.
¾ Do not fit the fastening nut yet
¾ Ensure correct equipotential bonding of all metallic elements of the conveyor unit (RollerDrive, side profile,
supporting structure, etc.). Improper earthing can lead to a build-up of static charge, which can result in a
malfunction or premature failure of the RollerDrive and/or the connected control system.
To guarantee safe equipotential bonding of the RollerDrive, the fastening nut must be in direct contact with
the metallic surface of the earthed side profile.
¾ If necessary, remove the coating of the side profile in the area of the fastening nut.
¾ Insert the RollerDrive cable and attachment shaft into the hex hole provided (min. 11.2 mm) or round hole (min.
12.2 mm) of the side profile.
¾ Release the hexagonal spring shaft so that it springs into the opening of the side profile.
¾ Tighten the screw using a torque spanner with a tightening torque of 20 Nm.
If the parts used for attaching the RollerDrive are not the parts that have been supplied by Interroll, it is
important to ensure that the attachment is secure enough that it will not twist.
¾ Secure the inner nut with a flattened counter ratchet with a 17 mm width across flats (accessory) to prevent it
from twisting.
¾ Slide the nut included in the scope of delivery over the RollerDrive line and screw it onto the attachment shaft.
¾ Tighten the nut using a torque spanner with a tightening torque of 70 Nm.
For installing a RollerDrive with tapered elements, the attachment shaft is positioned at an angle of 1.8°
or 2.2° to the side profile. To prevent bending forces from acting on the attachment shaft, an appropriate
angle compensator must be provided for the attachment. This is not included in the scope of delivery.

an accessory.
The PolyVee clamping aid is intended for the 75 mm and 100 mm roller pitches and designed for rollers
and RollerDrives with a diameter of 50 mm.
WARNING
Risk of crushing from uncontrolled start-up of the RollerDrive.
¾ Before connecting the RollerDrive, switch off the power to the conveyor system and ensure that it cannot be
unintentionally switched on again.
NOTE
Risk of material damage to the RollerDrive and/or the RollerDrive cables.
¾ Never operate the RollerDrive with an alternating current (AC), as this can result in irreparable damage to
the device.
¾ Do not expose the RollerDrive connector to excessively high tensile or pressure loads. Bending the
RollerDrive cables or sliding the attachment nut on too forcefully can damage the insulation of the cables,
which can lead to the failure of the RollerDrive.
¾ Permissible bending radii: Simple bending 15 mm, multiple bending 50 mm.
¾ Connect the RollerDrive connector to the corresponding connection of the Interroll control system.
If no Interroll control system is used, an adapter cable must be used to connect the RollerDrive to the
control system (for pin assignment, see „RollerDrive connector AI“ on page 34). Cutting off the RollerDrive
connector will void the warranty.
When using an extension cable to connect the RollerDrive, a max. length of 10 m must not be exceeded.
