Overview

EM-231B is a control unit for motorized doors and hatches using 24 VDC motors rated up to 3 A. The unit includes an integrated 230 VAC power supply and provides a galvanically isolated low-voltage output for the motor and control circuits.

The controller combines accurate motion control with obstacle detection and automatic safety reverse. Its high momentary output capability provides strong motor torque during startup and demanding movements.

Position and Motion Control

The EM-231B supports motors and systems equipped with dual-pulse feedback. The feedback signals allow the controller to monitor movement and provide accurate, repeatable, and smooth door operation.

Motor speed is parameter adjustable from 0% to 100%. The controller provides high momentary output power, allowing the motor to produce good starting torque when opening or closing the door.

Obstacle Detection and Safety Reverse

An adjustable motor current limit can be used to detect increased mechanical resistance caused by an obstacle or a movement problem. When an obstacle is detected as rising motor current, the controller automatically reverses the motor to reduce the risk of trapping a person or object.

The controller also supports an external safety edge. The safety edge can be installed on the leading edge of a sliding door or hatch to provide additional obstacle detection.

Control Modes

Two basic command modes are available:

  • Two-button mode: separate commands for opening and closing
  • One-button mode: sequential control using a single command input

An automatic closing function can also be activated whenever the door is opened through the proximity switch input.

Lock Motor Output

The hardware includes an optional output for a separate lock motor. This function is not supported by the standard program and requires application-specific firmware.

EM-231B-RC Remote Control Version

The EM-231B-RC version includes an integrated 433 MHz RF receiver for receiving commands from a keyfob transmitter.

  • The two-button keyfob can control up to two control units.
  • The four-button keyfob can control up to four control units.

The remote control system uses KeeLoq rolling-code protection. The changing transmission code helps prevent unintended operation, code duplication, and interference between remote control systems.
