Digital Cam Switch Unit Digitronic CamCon DC30 Automationsanlagen GmbH 2.1. Delay time compensation Every mechanical switching part (e.g. relays, magnetic valves) possesses a delay time, i.e. between the triggering signal and the actual switching of the contacts passes a certain amount of time. Because of that, problems can arise during procedures in which positionings are carried out in a moved system.

Digitronic Digital Cam Switch Unit Automationsanlagen GmbH CamCon DC30 A small numerial example shall serve the illustration: Assuming that the drive roll with the measuring system has a circumference of 360mm, so that one millimeter at the circumference corresponds exactly to one angle degree of the measuring system.
Digital Cam Switch Unit Digitronic CamCon DC30 Automationsanlagen GmbH 2.1.1. Calculating the delay time There are several possibilities for calculating the delay time of a relay or a valve. 2.1.1.1. Calculating the delay time through relocations that have already occured Program the switching point of the relay or valve during a standstill of the machine.
Digitronic Digital Cam Switch Unit Automationsanlagen GmbH CamCon DC30 3. Installation The unit is inserted into a cutout for front plate installation (see chapter "3.1. Dimensions" on page 9). Connect the groundig pins on the back of the encasement as well as the cable cover to a grounding point of the switchboard door in the shortest possible way.

The encoder is used for getting the actual position, necessary for the cam controller. Only encoders with an SSI interface can be connected to CamCon DC30. The SSI interface is a common interface for absolute single and multiturn encoders. The CamCon supplies the measuring system with 24Volt via this interface.
