• Configurable number of cams:
  Depending on programming, 16, 32, 64 or 128 cams are available.
• Any cam track can be assigned.
• 32 cam tracks, of which 16 are run directly to onboard digital outputs
• Configurable cam characteristics:
  the cams can be defined as path cams, path-time cams or time cams. They can be programmed direction-dependent (up/down). Track outputs "0" and "1" can be parameterized as counter cam track, 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 edge
• Simulation mode

Mode of operation

The FM 452 extremely high-speed electronic cam controller captures the position of parts via encoders and then initiates actions via control commands.

The FM 452 operates autonomously after the machine data and the cam data have been transferred. Only control and checkback signals are then exchanged between the CPU and the FM 452.

The electronic cam controller works particularly fast:

• 16 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.
