FM 352 CAM CONTROLLER

Function

 32 cam tracks:
13 leading directly to onboard digital outputs
 Configurable number of cams:
Depending on programming 32, 64 or 128 cams are available.
 Configurable cam characteristics:
Cams can be defined as position-based cams or time-based cams. They can be programmed direction-dependent
(up/down).
 Parameterizable assignment of cams to digital outputs:
Track outputs 0 and 1 can be parameterized as counter cam tracks and track output 2 can be parameterized as a
brake cam track.

Special functions

 Longitudinal measuring
 Set reference point
 Set actual value
 Set actual value on-the-fly
 Zero offset
 Change cam edges
 Simulation mode

Mode of operation

The ultra-high-speed FM 352 electronic cam controller uses a sensor to detect axis positions and then triggers control
commands by setting onboard outputs.

After the transfer of machine and cam data, the FM 352 works autonomously. Only control and checkback signals are
then exchanged between the CPU and the FM 352.

The electronic cam controller works particularly fast:

 13 digital outputs for cam tracks:

For rapid transmission of control signals to the process
 Speed-dependent dynamic shifting for each cam:
For automatic compensation of the dead time of the actuator connected at the time
 The machinery to be controlled can be connected directly to the module. Control relays are only required for
actuators with high current consumption.
