FM 352 electronic cam controller
The electronic cam controller determines the actual position value of the axis based on an
encoder signal. It evaluates the encoder signals (for example, by counting the pulses) which
are proportional to the distance traveled. Based on the actual position value, it sets or resets
the digital outputs ("cams"). The processing stations are controlled by signals at the digital
outputs.
Encoder
The encoder returns position and direction data.
CPU
The CPU executes the user program. The user program and the module exchange data and
signals by means of function calls.
PG/PC
The electronic cam controller is programmed and assigned its parameters using a PG or PC.
● Assigning parameters: You assign parameters for the FM 352 using the parameter
assignment interface or the parameter DB.
● Assigning parameters: You program FM 352 functions you can implement directly in the
user program.
● Testing and commissioning: You test and commission the FM 352 with the help of the
parameter assignment interface.
