1.2 From the mechanical system to an electronic system
The purpose of electronic programming limit switches is not only to take the place of mechanical
controllers but to render their function more precise and simpler, to provide a universal range of
application and to reduce wear.
The mechanical cam control actuates a switch over sections of a circle, and this switch is closed
over the length of this section. Such a section is defined as a "cam".
Each switch represents one output. Several circuits arranged in parallel produce the number of
outputs.
Picture 1: Mechanical cam control
This basic principle has been adopted from the mechanical cam controls. A cam is programmed
for an output by entering a switch-on point and a switch-off point. The output is switched on
between these points.
Thanks to twenty years of experience, consistent further development and the use of ultra-mod-
ern technology, DEUTSCHMANN AUTOMATION has now become one of the leading suppliers
of electronic cam controls.

Output 9 ... Output 16 Output block 2
Each output 24V/0.3A positive switching (PNP), short-circuit proof
Total current of the output block max. 1A at 25°C and full load.
+24V - Output 24V-output for Prog-Enable and external program selection
+24V - Supply 24V-power supply of the total device incl. output drivers
+24V - Encoder 24V-output voltage to the encoder (max. 300 mA)
GND Ground potential of the total cam control. All GND-signals are interconnected
internally. There is no connection to the housing, that has to be connected to the
potential equalization.

DICNET+, DICNET- Data line for the networking via the Deutschmann bus-system DICNET® (see
also chapter DICNET).

Encodertrack 1
- Encodertrack 12
24V-input (max. 10mA) for encoder lines when using absolute shaft encoders up
to 4096 Inf./rev. with parallel output.
InkTrackA Connection of track A when using an incremental encoder 24V
InkTrackB Connection of track B when using an incremental encoder 24V
Count^, Down+ In case of 24V at this input, the inputs „Encodertrack9“ and „Encodertrack10“ will
be interpreted as counting input and direction input. With each leading edge to
“Count1" an pulse is counted on. If the input "Down+" is at 24V it is counted bac-
kwards, otherwise forwards..
Clear-, Clear+ Clear-pulse. As soon as one of the two signals becomes active (0V at Clear-, 24V
at Clear+), the count will be set on 0 and it will be on 0 until the clear condition will
be disappearing again.
CountEnable- With 0V or unwired this signal releases the counter. In case this line is wired with
24V, the count is frozen. The speed measurement, and with it the idle time com-
pensation runs on in the meantime.
This signal is evaluated with an accuracy of ± 0.5ms.
OutEnable+ When using incremental encoders, with this signal the outputs can be switched
on or off. With 0V or unwired the outputs are switched off, with 24V the outputs
are set in accordance with the programed. The reaction to a signal change
occurs with an accuracy of ± 0.5ms.
ProgNr 1 ... ProgNr 32 The program number is applied at these pins in case of an external program
selection. The coding occurs in binary form according to chapter "Coding device

ProgStart In case this pin is wired with 24V, the program number is taken over at the Pro-
gNr1 to ProgNr64 (see above).
ProgEnable In case this pin is wired with 24V, all parameter changes (including change of the
configuration) in LOCON are permitted.

4.1.1 Serial interface
LOCON features a RS232 and a RS485-interface. The interface can be switched manually. The
interface switch is to be found under the sticker with the imprint RS232/RS485. In the state of
delivery it is set as indicated on the marking of the sticker.The position of the desired interface
can be taken from the devices surprint. Please use an appropriate tool to change the position of
the microswitch to the left or to the right.
Please note the signal descriptions!
A support of both interfaces at the same time is not possible.
4.1.2 Storing output names and language (option M)
This standard option allows the storage of an output name with a maximum length of 16 charac-
ters and the selected language of an external operating unit. The number of data records
amounts to 1936.

5.1 Connecting the supply voltage
The supply voltage is 10..30V DC (typ. 24V DC).
Before switching on the supply voltage the corresponding inputs and outputs must be wired, in
order to avoid malfunctions.
5.1.1 Connecting inputs and outputs
LOCON has 16 inputs (24V) and 16 24V-outputs.
Absolute shaft encoders are used as signaling devices of the machines. They are connected to
the pins ENCODER-TRACK1 to ENCODER-TRACK9 (360 Inc.-encoder).
The voltage supply of the encoders occurs through the 24V-encoder supply at the connector
strip. It may be loaded with a maximum of 500mA.
For the programming-release 24V must be applied at pin PROG_ENABLE (e. g. by means of a
key switch).
The pins PROG_NR1 to PROG_NR8 must only be wired, if an external program change is sup-
posed to happen (for instance via a PLC).
The outputs of LOCON are plus switching 24V, that means an active output has a level of 24V in
contrast to GND, a deleted output 0V.
The outputs are short circuit proof and can drive maximum 300mA, whereas 8 correlated outputs
of one driver can be operated with a maximum of 1A at 25°C and full load.
If more than 300mA per output become necessary, there is the possibility to couple more outputs
(up to 3 outputs each driver). Then 900mA can be driven. If several outputs are coupled, the
switch-on points and the switch-off points in the LOCON must be programmed absolutely identi-
cally. Otherwise the short circuit control reacts.
In case of a durable short circuit or an overload, the relevant outputs are switched off and a cor-
responding error message appears on the display.
5.2 Special versions
Beyond the diverse performance characteristics of the series LOCON 15 and TERM 5/6
described in this instruction manual, we also offer - as for all other models as well - customized
adaptations as well as special versions. If required please do not hesitate to send your inquiry
either to our distribution partner responsible for you or contact us directly.
If you are not sure about the device version, resp. the options you are
using, please compare the information indicated on the type label to the
explanations at the end of this instruction manual, chapter „Order code“.
For further questions either your distributor or we will be pleased to be at
your assistance.

6.1 Assembly of the instrument
This external control- and display unit consists of a plastic housing with overall dimension
W72xH96xD18 mm for front sheet installation and W72xH96xT28 mm for DIN-rail mounting.
It is adjusted for programming cam controls (LOCON, ROTARNOCK) and has the same keys,
status LEDs and display possibilities as LOCON 1/2 and LOCON 16/17.
In this respect the programming is just like LOCON 1/2 and LOCON 16/17 and no additional
training is required.
On the 16 LEDs below the seven-segment-display the first 16 outputs of the connected cam con-
trols are displayed with a delay of maximum 500ms.
The connection to the cam control takes place via aserial wire. According to the standard type a
RS485-connection (DICNET) and optionally a RS232-connection (switchable at the device) is
supported.
The correct wiring of the instruments among themselves is described in the chapter "Networking
terminals with cam controls and PCs".
