Programming LOCON Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Programming LOCON Basics There are several possibilities to program LOCON: • Input of the switch-on- and switch-off points of the cams through the integrated operation front • Input of the cams in the TEACH-IN process •...
Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Programming LOCON Program structure The graphs shown on the following two pages should serve the operators, who have experience in programming cams, as a survey how to program LOCON. The different states of LOCON are represented by the big boxes; the smaller boxes reflect actions which are caused by pressing a key (represented by arrows).

Programming LOCON Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG 9.3.1 Definitions Active program The program that is finished by LOCON, i. e. this program determines how the outputs in dependence on the encoder position are set. After switching on the active program is the one that was processed as active program when switching off the last time.
Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Programming LOCON 9.5.2 Programming the zero offset In the normal mode the programming begins by pressing the key (long) and then (long). Please note that for an easier operation in this mode the zero offset is not displayed, but the desired encoder-position.
Programming LOCON Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Should for example program 7 be activated, the following steps are necessary: • Program 7 corresponds with the binary code 0111. • Applying the adequate voltages: PROG_NR8 = 0V0 PROG_NR4 = 24V 1...
Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Programming LOCON From this point on the desired output is dialled by pressing the key The selected output in form of "Axx" appears on the display. At first the output 1 ("AO1) is always shown {default}.
Programming LOCON Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG If no other cams should be changed, you can return to the display mode with 9.11 Deleting existing cams Deleting a cam is the same procedure as changing it, only that the switch-on point is pro- grammed like the switch-off point or vice versa.
Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Programming LOCON If for instance the switching points should be set earlier with 10 increments and if a 360-inc.- encoder is connected, this is achieved by entering 350 (360 - 10). The autorepeat-function is supported as usual.
Programming LOCON Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG 9.16.2 Programming or changing idle times For programming idle times first of all a program and an output have to be selected (as already described in the previous chapters). If the desired output appears on the display ("Axx"), the idle time programming is activated by pressing the key (long), provided that the programming release by hardware took place.
Programming LOCON Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG This value can not be changed in the menu but the DIP-switch on the back. This parameter is insignificant if the RS232-interface is used. 9.18.1.6 Zero offset (for absolute encoders only) The zero offset or zero-point-correction is used to synchronize the mechanical zero-point of a machine with the zero-point of an absolute encoder.
Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Commissioning and self-test 10 Commissioning and self-test 10.1 Commissioning of the terminal Please follow the procedure below when commissioning the terminal: Connect the terminal to the required cam control Connect the 24 V supply voltage The terminal now conducts the self-test described in the following chapter, checks whether a user with the No.
Commissioning and self-test Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG If any error conditions which LOCON can detect itself have occurred, a corresponding error num- ber is displayed. Please refer to chapter ""Error messages" for the significance of this number and the actions required.

Technical details Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG Generally the SD and the RP are lower than the cycle time of the cam control. That means, the real switch point is between the moment "switch-on point + SD" and "switch-on point + SD + RP", as it is explained in the following graph.
Technical details Deutschmann Automation GmbH & Co. KG All methods have in common, that the required idle time value is determined again in every cycle of the cam control in dependence of the current speed. In this case, the idle time value indicates for how many increments the outputs must be activated earlier in order to compensate the idle time of the connected circuit component.
In order to avoid transmission errors, it must be ensured that both ends of the bus are terminated correctly. 12.7 Communication interface DEUTSCHMANN AUTOMATION encourages the use of cam controls with remote control and display unit in order to meet market requirements. Since different combinations of cam control and terminal have been required repeatedly, specific...
