Controller

The device is based on the CI512-ETH and offers an cam controller functionality with the same basic functions. The configuration concerning ETHERCAT communication and the usage from AC500_Product_Name PLC is basically the same. The common features are

  • Up to 32 cam switches with free assignment to the binary outputs
  • Dynamic compensation for delay times
  • Scan time from 80 µs to 200 µs

A number of additional features is available. The new features are accessible by defining a type for every cam (Parameterization) and by using a dedicated Function Block which relates to the cam and to the type defined. The respective functionality is explained in detail in the Function Block’s documentation.  The features of the different cam-types include:

  • Different compensation times for on- and off- switching
  • MXC_CamSwitchComfort_dc, MCX_CamSwitchMulti_dc
  • Cams which work for a configurable numbers of revolutions
  • MCX_CamSwitchMulti_dc, MCX_CamSwitchMultiTimed_dc
  • Cams which are switched on for a certain time instead of certain position range.
  • MCX_CamSwitchTimed_dc, MCX_CamSwitchMultiTimed_dc
  • Cams which are triggered by binary inputs, by a combination of input and Cam or by combination of input and time.
  • Trigger
  • MCX_CamShift_dc, MCX_BinaryShift_dc
  • Triggered
  • MCX_CamSwitchSimple_dc, MCX_CamSwitchComfort_dc, MCX_CamSwitchTimed_dc, MCX_CamSwitchMulti_dc, MCX_camSwitchTimeTimed_dc, MCX_CamSwitchMultiTimed_dc
  • A cam which produces a certain frequency according to the velocity
  • MCX_PulseSwitch_dc
  • A cam which delivers information about binary inputs according to the position
  • MCX_BinaryReference_dc
  • A certain logic function which might be connected to the cam.
  • MCX_CamLogic_dc
