Stand-Alone module for 2 or 4 motors with positioning

• Function description

  The module has 5 potential-free inputs for connecting standard push buttons (N.O.). Inputs 1 to 4 control the UP and DOWN outputs. The A input functions with a pulse between 0.7sec and 3sec as a DOWN command. A long pulse > 3sec on the A input functions as an UP command. By interconnecting A inputs of different ROL01PSA, ROL02PSA, and/or ROL04PSA modules, multiple motors on various modules can be controlled as a group. The functionality of input A can be adjusted when the ROL02PSA is connected to a Qbus CTD controller using the Qbus configuration software System Manager III. This allows you to set input delays, as well as a cascade time between 0 and 254 seconds. You can also determine per motor whether it may or may not be controlled by an All UP and/or All DOWN command on the A input. The cascade control prevents peak load when, for example, many motors are simultaneously controlled via the A input. Once these changes are programmed, the module can be disconnected and continue to operate Stand-Alone with these settings. There are also 4 connections where you can connect 5-24Vdc LED feedback to indicate the UP or DOWN request. Furthermore, the ROL02PSA is equipped with a safety input S for Normally Closed contacts. A jumper is inserted from the factory, so the module is immediately functional without using the S function. When removing the jumper or breaking the normally closed circuit on the safety input S, the SA button inputs are deactivated by default, and the connected motors are forced to 100% UP. Operations via the buttons and A input are then no longer allowed. For this described function, no additional configuration is required in Stand-Alone use. If necessary, via a CTD and System Manager III, the value when controlled by input S can be changed per motor output from 100% to 0%. When using via CTD, resetting the bistable output of the safety input is required.

  The safety input (S) can serve various applications:

  • Window contact in (sliding) window for automatic motor operation and to prevent unwanted activations.
  • Connection with wind sensor for protection against wind damage.
  • Window cleaner switch. To prevent accidents while cleaning windows.
  • Connection to fire alarm system…
  • A combination of multiple safety interruptions is also possible. In this case, the Normally Closed contacts must be connected in series.

  The ROL02PSA is equipped with current detection for the automatic detection of run times of 230Vac motors with power ratings between 40VA and 500VA. For motors with electronic end stops or those with a power rating lower than 40VA, run times may need to be manually set. In Stand-Alone situations where no CTD is present in the installation, this can be done via the configuration mode you can activate and the associated menu structure explained further in this document. In combination with a CTD (Qbus Controller), a different FIX time than the Stand-Alone menu choices can be set via System Manager III. The ROL02PSA does not allow simultaneous control of an UP and a DOWN contact. It is also not possible to switch quickly between an UP command and a DOWN command. This way, the module protects the motors from unwanted quick switches that could damage or misalign a motor. The control with 1 button for both UP and DOWN (excluding slats) as well as with 2 buttons for a separate UP button and a separate DOWN button is possible. This is settable per motor output. Blinds or slats can be positioned in height and separately tilted between 0% and 100%. The tilting can be manually controlled in an adjustable number of steps, but a maximum of 10 steps. The ROL02PSA, like every Qbus module, has a unique serial number which is entered in the configuration software System Manager III during configuration. All programmed data remains internally stored in permanent memory. The operating modes of the ROL02PSA can be adjusted via the push buttons on the module or through a temporary or permanent connection with a CTD via System Manager III. Additional settings such as behavior when controlled via the A input can be set via a CTD and System Manager III. By default, each channel of the ROL02PSA is set in 2-button shutter mode without thermal glass break protection and without delay time on the cascade function. Since a jumper is provided from the factory on the S input, the module is immediately functional. Configuration via the Stand-Alone menu structure or via System Manager III enables the following operational modes. If a CTD is connected, the Stand-Alone menu is no longer usable. 

  Operating in 2-key shutter mode (Standard):

  • A short pulse on the UP button causes the module to drive the motor to 100%.
  • A short pulse on the DOWN button causes the module to drive the motor to 0%.
  • A short pulse while the motor is running results in an immediate STOP.
  • A long pulse (more than 300ms) causes the motor to move in the chosen direction until the button is released.

  Operating in 2-key shutter mode with thermal glass breakage protection:

  • A short pulse on the UP button causes the module to drive the motor to 100%.
  • A short pulse on the DOWN button causes the module to drive the motor to 0%.
  • No intermediate position can be selected. The motor is only driven to 0% or 100%.
  • In combination with a CTD, a long pulse (more than 300ms) will move the motor in the chosen direction until the button is released. A position <50% will be forced to 0%, a position >=50% will be forced to 100%. Intermediate positions are not possible!
  • When operated without a connected CTD, the duration of the pulse does not matter. The motor also does not stop in an intermediate position.
  • This option ensures that the shutter or awning can only be fully open or fully closed, keeping the glass temperature constant throughout and avoiding thermal glass breakage.
  • This option is highly recommended, for example, for large glass surfaces where direct sunlight can shine. Due to the application of certain types of glass, this option is sometimes necessary. The supplier of the windows should provide advice on this matter.

  Operating in 1-key shutter mode:

  • A short pulse on the UP button when the motor is stationary causes the motor to go UP.
  • A long pulse on the button causes the motor to go DOWN.
  • A short pulse on the button when the motor is moving in any direction results in an immediate STOP.

  Operating in 1-key shutter mode with thermal glass breakage protection:

  • A short pulse on the UP button when the motor is stationary causes the motor to go to 100% (UP).
  • A long pulse on the button causes the motor to go to 0% (DOWN).
  • With this setting, you ensure that the shutter or awning can only be fully open or fully closed, keeping the glass temperature constant throughout and avoiding thermal glass breakage.
  • This option is highly recommended, for example, for large glass surfaces where direct sunlight can shine. Due to the application of certain types of glass, this option is sometimes necessary. The supplier of the windows should provide advice on this matter.

  Operating with slats (only with 2-key operation):

  • A very short pulse tilts the motor with slats one step. To move from vertical to horizontal and further to the other vertical position, 10 steps are provided by default. The number of steps can only be set in System Manager III.
  • A pulse of about 1 second causes the module to go to 0% or 100%. A short pulse in either direction stops the motor.
  • A long pulse (more than 1s) causes the motor to move in the chosen direction until the button is released.
     

  If the module restarts after a power outage, the outputs will return to their last position.

  Qbus is not responsible for any damage resulting from incorrect operation of, or incorrect settings in the shutter module.

General

• Safety regulations

  Read the entire manual before installing and activating the module.

  WARNING

  • The module must be installed, commissioned, and maintained by a certified electrical installer in accordance with the applicable legal regulations of the country.
  • This module is only suitable for DIN-rail installation EN50022. The module must be installed in a fireproof, enclosed distribution box with ventilation grilles.
  • Before working on the ROL0xPSA, power supply must be disconnected.
  • Risk of injury! Ensure no unintended motor control can occur during work.
  • The module must not be opened. The warranty is void if the module is opened!
  • Do not use the module in an environment accessible to children.

Installation and wiring

• Installation

  Snap the module onto a DIN rail DIN EN50022.

• Power supply

  ATTENTION: DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY TO THE MODULE BEFORE WORKING ON THE MODULE!
  A double-pole automatic circuit breaker with a maximum of C16A must be connected to the 230Vac module power supply. Conductor cross-section: minimum 1.5mm². Strip approximately 7mm of insulation from the conductor and screw the conductor into the L-N connector.

• Load

  The ROL0xPSA is suitable for directly powering and controlling one to two 230Vac motors, each with a maximum of 500VA. Never connect more than one motor directly to the same output of the shutter module. Both solid and stranded wires can be used. Connect the load as shown in the figure on the next page. The cross-sectional area of the conductors must be at least 1.5mm² with a C16A protection. 

  Remove approximately 7mm of insulation from the conductors and screw the conductors into the connectors UP, N, DN. When using stranded wire, ferrules must be crimped onto the stranded wires before inserting them into the terminals. A flat-blade screwdriver of 0.5mm x 3mm can be used to tighten the terminal screw. 

  Only switch on the power after all connections have been checked and the motor is connected.

  The motor to be connected must have pre-set limit switches. A shutter module like the ROL02PSA is not intended to set, replace, or override the physical limit switches!

  Limit switches of the motors must first be manually adjusted before connecting the motor to the module. We strongly recommend that the newly adjusted motors be operated several times via a test switch before connecting them to a motor controller. In some cases, the limit switch adjustment is not set permanently. Qbus is not responsible for any damage resulting from improper motor adjustment.

  During the first operation after the module and motors are connected, the module will attempt to automatically detect the run times. If this is not possible, the module will interrupt the power to the motor after 5 seconds. In that case, the motor will only receive power for 5 seconds with each subsequent operation. In some cases, a calibration partly works, but in such situations, it is best to set a fixed time via the Stand-Alone menu, or if using CTD, set a FIX-time via the System Manager. The Stand-Alone menu structure of the module allows for the setting of fixed run times. Auto-calibration can fail if the module was powered and operated while the motor was not yet connected. In such cases, you can reinitiate a failed calibration via this menu structure.

  When run times are determined via automatic calibration, each time the motor is fully raised or lowered (each time a limit switch is activated), the new run time will be stored in the internal memory. This ensures that the desired position of the shutter remains accurate over time. When a fixed run time is set, no recalibration will occur.

• SA inputs

  Remove approximately 7mm of insulation from the conductors and insert the conductors into terminals 1 to A. Both solid and stranded wire between 0.5 – 1.5 mm2 can be used; for stranded wire, carefully press on the terminal with a screwdriver while pushing in the wire. By pressing on the top of the terminal with a screwdriver, the wires can be removed from the terminals.  If you are not using safety contacts, the wire bridge in the safety input S must remain in place.

• Stand-Alone LED feedback

  An external 5-24Vdc power supply can be connected to the ROL0xPSA to provide LED feedback, for example, for the directly connected push button(s). 

• Bus connection

  It is recommended to use the Qbus cable or any other cable with a minimum of 2 conductors of 1mm² as the bus cable. The green shielded EIB cable can also be used if the conductors are paired to achieve a minimum cross-section of 2 x 1mm².

Wiring Diagram

• Stand Alone

  Option 1: Stand-Alone

  You can wire and use one or more Stand-Alone modules. There is no limit to the number of Stand-Alone modules that can be connected via the scene input A and/or safety input S. Combinations with other types of Qbus Stand-Alone modules for connecting the scene input A (“All-OFF” / “Panic” button) are also unlimited. Keep the wiring between push buttons and SA modules as separate as possible from other wiring or preferably use shielded cables. Under normal circumstances, SVV cabling is sufficient for connecting push buttons. 

  The push buttons for operation and the safety contacts of the motor, as well as the associated LED feedback, are directly connected to the module. These retain their function 

  Option 2 Multiple Stand-Alone with linking of S and/or A inputs 

  If you want to connect multiple modules from the same Stand-Alone / star wiring or wish to link the S or A input, you must always link the C (Common) between the modules! Failing to interlink the C input between the different modules can cause defects.
• With Qbus Controller

  Option 3: With Controller without SA connections / safeties

  Option 4: With controller, safety contacts, Stand-Alone connections, and smart switch (example like ROL01PSA)

• via System Manager III

  Each modules has an unique serial number. By this number the System Manager recognizes the modules.

  This is completely explained in our knowledge center.

   

  These modules are special relay modules that are only available for controlling and positioning 230Vac electric motors (shutters/blinds/curtains).

  The roller shutter motors that are connected to the roller shutter modules must be 230Vac motors, with a minimum load of 40W and a maximum load of 500W. The roller shutter motors must also have limit switches; this is important when calibrating the roller shutters. These modules do not allow controlling an Up and a Down contact of the same roller shutter at the same time.

  Each roller shutter on the ROL0x can be positioned between 0% and 100% of the running time. An internal calibration mechanism will calibrate the roller shutter each time it is fully raised or lowered (each time both limit switches are activated). This ensures that the desired position of the roller shutter remains accurate over time.

  With a shutter module it is possible to configure the shutters so that they would go to 0% (closed) when e.g. the light level outside falls below a certain value, or to set them to 42% when the temperature in the living room is more than 22°C and the light level outside is more than 1200 lux (meaning the sun is shining inside and the room is warming up), etc.

  Remark: If there is no need to position the shutters, a REL08 or a REL04SA can also be used.

  When you have entered the serial number in the modules window, the following window will appear

  Only the Up/Down(+Pos) I/O's can be assigned to a roller shutter module.

  The I/O’s can be activated from the system manager by pressing the Up and Down keys, and the current status can be consulted by pressing the "Read value" key.

  With the ROL0x it is possible to set your roller shutters to a desired percentage. In order to achieve this, the roller shutter must be calibrated.
  Adjust the roller shutter's end of range contacts so that the upper and lower limits of the roller shutter are clearly defined. Then connect the motor to the ROL0x module.

  Note: Roller shutter motors may not be placed parallel to each other. This usually results in irreparable damage to the motors!

  
  Via the module you can create a new I/O on the module or you can go via the I/O list to “Wizard New I/O” (mode = “Up/Down(+Pos)”). Our I/O that we are going to create is called “Sun blinds”.
  When the I/O(s) have been created and placed on the module, we send this data to the controller. We then return to the shutters screen and click on the “Read value” button. The module will now indicate that it has not yet been calibrated.

  
  You can choose either automatic calibration or the entry of fixed run times (only modules with 10-digit serial number). If automatic calibration has been selected and slats are present, you must first enter the time required to tilt the slats from 0 to 100%. Afterwards, on the first operation of the shutter, the module will move the shutter to the nearest end (0% or 100%) and then measure the time it takes from 0% to 100% and vice versa. The end of range contacts in the roller shutter motor ensure that the current is lost and the module will then reverse the direction. After the calibration is finished, the module can be operated normally.

  After calibration, you can then press the "Read values" button where you can read the times. If these times differ by more than 2 seconds, it is recommended to reset the calibration and try the calibration again. If this does not help, you should check the limit switches of the motor.

  With new roller shutter modules with a 10-digit serial number starting with 0004, 000F and 0010 these times can also be entered as a fixed value. This is necessary if you work with roller shutters or sun blinds with electronically controlled motors on which the current measurement does not work correctly.
  You can also control the position of the slats on these new modules. For these I/O’s it is important that the tilting time is entered as precisely as possible.
  A short pulse on a key will tilt the slats 1 step further.
  Both the position of the roller shutter/screen and the position of the slats can be controlled via scenes.
  You can then operate the roller shutter I/O on any Qbus-controlled control panel or switch.
