13 Operation LOCON 24, 48, 64
Operation of the LOCON 24, 48 and 64 cam controls is identical to the description in chapter
"Operation via TERM 24". Only the differences are described below.

13.1.1
Programming enable (dongle)
DEUTSCHMANN cam controls feature a dongle which must first be unlocked before program-
ming can be carried out in order to protect against unauthorized operation.
Please refer to chapter "Pin assignment" for details of the dongle.
13.1.2
Function, program controller
Units with the program controller function are normal LOCON 24, LOCON 48 or LOCON 64 units
on which a TIMER has been programmed as the encoder type. The cam control then behaves in
precisely the same way as an incremental cam control, whereby the incremental pulses are gen-
erated internally. The interval between one pulse and the next is referred to as the timebase and
can be set by the customer from 1 ms to 65535 ms. All functions (CountEnable, Clear ...) as on
the incremental cam control are available. The counting range can also be freely defined. Units
with the TIMER function do not have idle time compensation. Moreover, there is no speed dis-
play.
13.2 Configuration and initialisation
The parameters specified in the parameter table below can be configured/initialized at the works
or by the user or can be set with the DIP SWITCH. Even though certain values are displayed,
these values can, however, not be changed by the user for the aforesaid reasons (or only via DIP
switch).
