Power Logic and Motion from a Single L-Code Line
Challenge
A conveyor section that previously ran continuously now needs to respond to product detection, upstream system logic, or sensor input. To enable that control, a DXMR90 is added to manage an R50C Motor-Driven Roller Controller (MDR) at that location. The MDR runs on 16-amp L-code power already available along the conveyor. The DXMR90 needs 4-amp A-code power, but there's no A-code available at that location, and pulling a new line would add cost, wiring complexity, and installation time. The challenge is how to power both the R50C MDR and the DXMR90 at the same point—using the existing L-code run—without changing the system layout or adding hardware to the cabinet.
Solution
The R50 M12 Power Splitter solves this integration problem by providing both L-code passthrough and A-code power breakout from a single device. Installed directly in the L-code line, it delivers 16-amp power downstream to daisy-chained R50C MDRs without interruption, while simultaneously providing two 4-amp A-code power drops—one of which powers the DXMR90. No modifications to the panel are required, and no separate A-code line or external splitter hardware is needed. The R50 M12 Power Splitter replaces loose splitter cables and junction blocks with a single, integrated device—installed directly in the existing L-code line. This allows smarter, event-based activation of motor-driven rollers, saving power, reducing wear, and extending equipment life.
