GLOSSARY
POWERLINK = real time Ethernet – faster
uses RJ 45 cross cable (blue)
E - LINK = Powerlink with 24V supply included in one

prefabricated Hybrid cable
Decentralized Arrangement = the control section is

integrated in the individual filling station. Only F1-filler
Centralized Arrangement = the control section is separate

from the filling station
1
For Operation the „FVC“ tab contains all screens
The APC620 PC is used as a main controller
The E-Tower contains the components for

Touch screen distributing Powerlink and 24V supply for
the solenoid blocks.
Main Cabinet
The I/0 Module

EX484/DM465 supplies the APC620
with all needed digital signals of the
filler using Powerlink
Rotating filler carousel

The FVC-Module is integrated in the touch screen and communicates with the main
controller APC620 using the machines Ethernet network. Operation, diagnostics of
network and filling-valves, and parameters are set and stored here.

E - Tower
Solenoid blocks here in

separate boxes
Color coded air hoses to control the

functions of the filling station

E-TOWER The slipring transmitter connects the signals

to the rotating filler carousel:
- 24 V supply for solenoids and electronics
- Powerlink both ways
- AS-Inteface or Device-net
just to name a few
Maintenance depends on operating condition

if no fault occurs:
-every 1000h lubrication of air distributor
-every 2 years visual check / open cover
-every 14 500 000 revolutions or 2-5 years
with „Maintenance Kit“ according to the
„Maintenance Instruction“
„Maintenance Kit“ contains:
-Maintenance Instruction- engl.

-Brush Block
-Contact Cleaner
-Gold Contact Spray, developed
exclusively for this unit.
-Do not use substitutes-
-Cleaning tools
-Bearings and Seals
This kind of maintenance can

be done 3 to 5 times
then the Ring-Module needs to
be remachined and gold plated.
- only done by KRONES -
Parts are replaced only if they

are worn or damaged
4
E-TOWER POWER DISTRIBUTOR
24 VDC supply from slipring transmitter
AS-Interface from the filler
24 VDC supply for

E-Link distributors
Each of the 5 blocks supply 2x 24 VDC to the solenoid

controls of up to 20 filling stations.
24VDC to control circuits and sensors like flowmeters
24VDC for solenoid coils

E-TOWER POWER DISTRIBUTOR
Spares
The ASI-Module reports a

blown fuse to the touch
LED green- fuse OK screen to display a
7.5A fuses
LED off - fuse blown collective fault message
2 for each
terminal block

E-TOWER
Powerlink cable converter:
cable from slip ring transmitter to RJ45 cross cable
ASI-modules or Flex I/O are used for E-Link distributor

-Pressure control One unit can handle up to 80 filling
-Bowl level control stations
-C.I.P. control

POWERLINK CONNECTIONS E-LINK DISTRIBUTOR
Powerlink Node Address
1. -Powerlink from
slip ring transmitter
5. -Powerlink to
slip ring transmitter
2. Powerlink input coming from APC620
3. Powerlink uplink to next distributor
4. Powerlink redundancy return to APC620

SENSOMETIC / MECAFILL CENTRALIZED ARRANGEMENT
The control circuits and
the solenoid valve
blocks are located in
the E-Tower or in
separate boxes.

E-LINK CONNECTIONS CENTRALIZED ARRANGEMENT
E-Link cable from the
last solenoid block.
End of redundant wiring!
Port 8 „Active Port“
E-Link cable to the

first solenoid block.
Start of redundant wiring!
Port 1 „Active Port“
For more than 80 filling stations, a 2nd

E-Link distributor is needed. Powerlink Node Address
14

E-LINK CONNECTIONS CENTRALIZED ARRANGEMENT
The E-Link cable loops thru the solenoid blocks

One loop handles 80 filling stations
The 2x 24VDC for solenoids

and electronics are wired
separately
15

E-Link DIAGNOSTIC
Green LEDs ON - indicate a good

physical connection
Green LEDs BLINKs – it communicates
16
8
E-Link DIAGNOSTIC
If a cable is defective or disconnected

the corresponding LED is OFF
Easy troubleshooting
A graphic overview at the touch screen

shows the missing link as well.
17

The controller board is equiped with 16
outputs.
These are monitored for:
- open circuit
- overload
- short circuit
In case of a fault, a message is displayed
DIAGNOSTIC
The Status LEDs for each output show

that the solenoid should be
energized

Plug connections link the controller to the
solenoids
For replacing a solenoid, the complete

board must be removed
Two screws retain the board in place.
Manual „Test-button“ of the solenoids
19

Two screws hold the solenoid valve to the
aluminum block
One spare solenoid valve comes with

every E-Tower
If the last solennoid block of the E-Tower has unused valves, they also could be used
as spares. ! Each valve block must be complete !
