Abstract: Method for operating a motor-roller controller wherein a first value indicative of an amperage at an input power port of a first motor-roller controller is measured by a meter of the first motor-roller controller. The first value is sent to at least one second motor-roller controller via a signal bus port of the first motor-roller controller. At least one second value indicative of an amperage at an input power port of the at least one second motor-roller controller is received at the signal bus port. A nominal value for the amperage at the input power port of the first motor-roller controller is determined depending on the first value and the at least one second value, and the motor-roller control port of the first motor-roller controller is operated with an output current to the motor-roller such that the amperage at the input power port reaches the nominal value.

Abstract: A motor-driven conveyor-roller controller for conveyor installations for conveying containers. The controller incudes a power inlet, a wired I/O port, and a wired motor roller port. The controller is configured to output motor roller control signals for a motor roller at the motor roller port. The controller is configured to receive motor roller status signals from the motor roller at the motor roller port and to receive motor roller control signals for the motor roller at the I/O port. The wired I/O port is configured to exchange control information with a central control center. The controller includes a wireless configuration port that is configured to wirelessly receive, from a mobile device, at least configuration signals for the motor roller and/or send status signals representing motor roller status information.
