Provided is a motor-incorporating roller capable of preventing a grease supply portion from separating. The motor-incorporating roller has a motor and a reducer in a cylindrical roller body and the reducer is provided with a gear train including a plurality of gears. The motor-incorporating roller has a grease supply portion that supplies grease to the plurality of gears in the reducer and is capable of containing grease therein. Furthermore, the motor-incorporating roller has a power output member that outputs power and a shaft portion that pivotally supports the gears. The grease supply portion is integrated with the power output member through the shaft portion to restrict movement of the shaft portion in an axial direction.

The invention is intended for industry as component of cargo conveyors. In it the relevant commutation electronics is located outside the roller body. The invention provides that only four wires pass through the axial element for easy assembling, using four-terminal connectors. Roller (1) has a hollow body (3), in which an electric motor (4) is located, coupled to the body by driving and torque transferring (5). A cable (6) with terminals (7) from the coils (8) of the motor (4) and a first-potential terminal (9) powers the position sensors (10). Power to sensors is applied by first (9) and second-potential (12). The sensor signal terminals (11) are connected to a digital encoding device (17), powered by the first (9) and second (12) potential. This encoding device has one common encoded output (19) connected to the first potential terminal (9).

A conveyor controller for being implemented into a conveyor system includes control circuitry and one or more network interfaces for coupling with other conveyor controllers. In one embodiment, the control circuitry configured for detecting whether another conveyor controller is connected and to determine which network interface is used in order to set the direction of the conveyor system. In another embodiment, the control circuitry is configured, to receive configuration data from a conveyor controller connected to a network interface, and to detect if another conveyor controller is and to transmit configuration message to another conveyor controller that includes additional configuration data associated with the conveyor controller. In still another embodiment, the control circuitry transmits configuration data to a replacement conveyor controller upon getting a request from the replacement conveyor controller that has been connected to a network interface.
