1.2 From the mechanical system to an electronic system
The purpose of electronic cam controls 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.

LatchClr If this input is wired to 24 V, the Clear pulses (see below) are latched, i.e. a
pulse with a minimum length of 40 µs is interpreted as Clear. This Latch func-
tion should be used only in the case of really short Clear signals since the Clear
input in this case also responds more sensitively to interference signals. If the
input is not wired or is wired to 0 V, a minimum Clear length of 1 ms is required.
SelectCount+, Count^, Down+ If 24 V is applied to this input, inputs ”Encodertrack9” and ”Encodertrack10” are
evaluated as counting and direction input. A pulse is incremented with each
rising edge at ”Count”. If input "Down+" has 24 V, downcounting is carried out.
Otherwise, upcounting is carried out. If ”SelectCount+" is not wired or is wired
to 0 V, an incremental encoder with A/B tracks is expected.

3.3.1 Status LEDs
3.3.1.1 Front view
48 LEDs indicating the output status (LED on = 24 V at output) are arranged beneath the seven-
segment display. The status of outputs 49 to 64 on LOCON 64 is not displayed.
3.3.1.2 Rear view
3.4 External program selection
For external program selection, the new program must be applied in the form of binary code (see
chapter "Coding device and program numbers") at the connector strip and then a leading edge
must be generated at pin "ProgStart", whereby the High level (24 V) must be held for at least 200
ms.
The following steps are required if, for example, program 7 (binary 000111) is to be activated:
3.4.1 Applying the corresponding voltages
Clear-, Clear+ Clear pulse. As soon as one of the two signals is activated (0 V in the case of
Clear-, 24 V in the case of Clear+), the count is set to 0 and is maintained at 0
until the Clear condition disappears again. The pulse width is dependent on
wiring of input "LatchClr" (see above).
CountEnable- This signal enables the counter in the case of 0 V or if unwired. If 
24 V is applied to this line, the count is frozen. The speed measurement and,
thus, the TZK continue to run during this time.
This signal is evaluated with an accuracy of ±0.5 ms.
OutEnable+ This signal can be used to connect and disconnect the outputs if incremental
encoders are used. In the case of 0 V or unwired, the outputs are deactivated.
In the case of 24 V, the outputs are set in accordance with the programmed
cams. The response to a signal change occurs with an accuracy of ±0.5 ms.
Prog.No. 1 ... Prog.No. 32 The program number is applied to these pins in the case of an external pro-
gram selection. Coding is in binary form in accordance with chapter ”Coding
device and program number”.
ProgStart If 24 V is applied to this pin, the program number at pins Prog.No.1 to
Prog.No.64 (see above) is accepted.
ProgEnable If 24 V is applied to this pin, all parameter changes (including configuration
change) are allowed in LOCON. Please refer to chapter ”Programming enable”
for further details.

The program can be changed at any time using the connector strip.
If pin "PROG_START" is permanently wired to 24 V, LOCON accepts the
program applied externally each time the unit is powered up.
3.5 Installation and commissioning of LOCON 24, 48 and 64
The screw-type plug connectors of the LOCON may be unplugged and
plugged in only with the power supply disconnected!!!
3.5.1 Connection of the supply voltage
The supply voltage is 24V DC (+/- 20%) and is applied to pins "+24V". The reference ground is
wired to "GND". The LOCON requires maximum 200 mA when not under load and not including
encoder power supply.
The corresponding inputs and outputs must be wired before switching on the supply voltage in
order to avoid malfunctions.
