Automationsanlagen GmbH
1. Introduction
Electrical cam switch units have been used successfully by the industry for a long time.The
experiences which have been collected in close co-operation during these years have been considered
during the development of the CamCon. The result is a compact digital cam switch unit which owns a
maximum of user friendliness and reliability.
The following characteristics distinguish the CamCon:
*
Experienced and reliable hardware
*
Short circuit-proof outputs
*
Graphical liquid crystal display with 128x64 picture elements on CamCon DC50/51
*
As many cams per output as programmable
*
Optimizing of the switching points while the machine operates
*
In steps of 100µs adjustable compensation of the mechanical delay time of switch units
*
Voltage supply 24V DC +/- 20%
*
Carrier rail assembly according to EN 50022 on CamCon DC16 and DC90.
*
Switchboard norm encasement 144 x 144 x 63mm according to DIN 43700 on CamCons DC40,50
and 51.
*
S5 operation group for Simatic
S5 115U, 135U and 155U on CamCon DC115.
*
S5 connection via PG interface with L1 - BUS.
*
S7 operation group for Simatic
S7 300 on CamCon DC300.
*
PLC logic module (optional)
*
Analog outputs (optional)

Cam switch units are being used everywhere where switching procedures are being periodically
repeated. Digital cam switch units replace mechanical ones optimally and furthermore offer other
advantages, for example:
*
Simplification of assembly and adjustment procedures
*
Reproducible adjustments
*
Standardisation for all possible ranges of operation
*
Reliability
*
High switching speed
*
Delay time compensation
