11. Calculation EEPROM cam storage
In the CamCon you have the opportunity to extend the EEPROM Cam storage. The storage space
required for programming is influenced by the following factors:
1. Basic requirement = 256 Bytes
2. Per cam = 12 Bytes
3. Per set delay time for Speed Compensation = 12 Bytes
4. Per name for an output = 24 Bytes
5. Per set key / code = 66 Bytes
6. For a special measuring system = 66 Bytes
7. For direct or ”actual” program selection = 12 Bytes
8. Per set program name = 48 Bytes
9. Per line of the OP function = 72 Bytes
The value is generated by the CamCon with the following formula:
Storage requirements in Bytes = Basic needs
+ Number of cams * 12
+ Number of delay times for Speed Compensation * 12
+ Number of output names * 24
+ Number of user keys * 66
+ 66 when the special measuring system is available.
+ 12 when "on Pos" program selection is set.
+ 48 * number of set program names.
+ 72 * number of set lines of the OP function.
Example 1: The Cam Switch Unit is supposed to have 8 Programs each with 16 cams and Speed
Compensation for 16 outputs.
Storage requirement in Bytes = 256 Bytes + ( 8 Programs * 16 * 12 Bytes ) + ( 16 * 12 Bytes )
Storage requirement = 1984 Bytes
Example 2: The Cam Switch Unit is supposed to have 20 programs each with 16 cams and 16
delay times for Speed Compensation.
Storage requirement in Bytes = 256 Bytes
+ ( 20 Programs * 16 * 12 Bytes )
+ ( 16 TZK * 12 Bytes )
+ ( 16 Output names * 24 Bytes )
+ ( 1 User keys * 66 Bytes )
Storage requirement = 4738 Bytes
Warning: Through alterations in the storage structure of the CamCon software, the extent to
which storage capacity is used up can differ from software version to software version!
