1. INTRODUCTION
The information enclosed in this manual is the basic information required to install and operate the
Electronic Cam.
The device is ideally suited for the myriad applications where angular command positions are needed.
The Electronic Cam has none of the financial handicaps of the multi-purpose PLC systems otherwise
available.
Absolute programming simplicity is achieved using step by step command inputs in degrees, for prompt
sequence preparation and alteration.
Feedback data from either a bi-directional incremental encoder or a gray code absolute encoder is
required.
The keypad is sealed in a colour coded membrane facia to give complete protection against the ingress
of dirt and moisture. The keys are positively activated by depressing and not just touch sensitive.
No ancillary software is required to complement or support the Electronic Cam. This complete and
ready to connect unit provides a neat alternative to bulky hard wired panels or mechanical controls.
Data edits and updates may be interchanged with initial programmed values whilst the Cam is in the
RUN mode. This provides enormous advantages to continuous production control applications. The
ability to adjust interacting elements without the interruption of production is often essential.
Multi programme “batch” options allows up to nine individual output profiles to be selected at the touch of
a button. Production variations or product changes can be instantly catered for without the need for
further programming.
A passive RS232 interface is available to enable larger overseeing controls to interrogate and program
the Electronic Cam (Factory option).
For voltage free contact output requirements a self-contained relay module is available, which can be
powered by the 24 VDC supply sourced from the Cam. Relay modules handle up to eight outputs and
simply link direct to the Cam.
Two types of case styles are available for the cam unit which are suitable for either stand alone
installation or for panel mounting with integral surround .
The Electronic Cam is available as standard with 220/240 or 110/120 (factory set) volt options for a 50
or 60 Hz supply but can be adapted for other voltages if required.
The Electronic Cam has RPM displayed as standard.
