Switching cam encoder NOCE /S3- SIL2/ SSI Interface

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document outlines the NOCE / S3 model, a digital switching cam encoder with a digital electromagnetic rotary encoder, suitable for stationary and mobile machines like power plants and cranes. It features up to four SIL2 safety switching outputs and an integrated multiturn SIL2 rotary encoder with an SSI interface.
Design: The encoder is encased in a robust aluminum or stainless steel dual-chamber design, featuring a shaft seal and ball bearing. It supports electrical connections via M12 connectors or cables, tailored to customer specifications.
Specifications: The encoder provides a position resolution of up to 15 bits, with high resistance to vibration and shock. It operates at speeds up to 1000 rpm and can handle angular accelerations up to 105 rad/s². The operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C, with safety parameters applicable up to +70°C.
Safety Parameters: Compliant with EN 13849-1:2008, EN 61508:2010, and EN 62061 standards, the encoder achieves a safety integrity level (SIL) of 2, with a high diagnostic coverage (DC) of 95.8% and a safe failure fraction (SFF) of 97.5%.
Technical Data: The encoder's electrical system uses GMR elements, operating within a voltage range of 9 to 36 VDC, with power consumption under 3 W and a maximum clock rate of 1 MHz for the SSI interface.
Switching Outputs: It includes four potential-free, galvanically separated switching outputs, each with two relays connected in series for reliable contact separation. The outputs are electronically activated and wear-free.
SSI Interface: The encoder uses a serial SSI interface for precise angle or position registration, with a standard shift register length of 32 bits, supporting a measuring range of up to 4096 revolutions.
Order Information: Details on ordering include options for housing material, flange and shaft configurations, and electrical connections.
Specifications: The document details two versions of switching outputs, each tailored to specific customer needs, using a 32-bit SSI interface profile with a maximum of 29 significant data bits and an error bit (FB).
Version 1: This version involves fixed distances between switching contacts set at the factory, with on-site adjustment to the shaft position. Customers can specify ascending or descending flanks.
Version 2: Designed for applications requiring two switching outputs in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions from a reference shaft position, typically the SSI preset value.
Procedures: Procedures for setting the signal path, presetting SSI to position, and presetting cams are outlined, emphasizing the importance of specifying desired switching output settings when ordering.
Functionality: Switching outputs function through relays, with two relays connected in series per output for reliable contact separation. Relay monitoring checks contact status, triggering an error status for discrepancies.
Cam Preset Function: Allows simultaneous adjustment of all cams to the application, with detailed instructions on setting cams and the SSI preset value.
Safety and Standards: The encoder complies with SIL2 standards, with diagrams illustrating cam settings and switching behavior.
Illustrations and Examples: Provided to demonstrate configuration and operation of switching outputs, including cam positioning and SSI preset effects on switching flanks.
Teach-in Function: Due to SIL2 requirements, the encoder uses two multi-function pins for the preset/teach-in process, ensuring safety. The teach-in function involves a sequence of activating pins to set cam or SSI presets, with specific waiting times between steps.
Electrical Connection: Uses M12 connectors with a maximum voltage of 30 V, with pin configuration including operating voltage, safety contacts, and data connections. The teach-in function requires specific pin assignments for activating and setting presets.
Installation and Materials: Features an aluminum housing and stainless steel shaft, with nickel-plated connectors. Installation drawings provide dimensions and connector alignment details. Accessories include a play-free clamp coupling and a play-compensating measurement gear for mechanical drive applications.
Recommendations: For optimal performance, ensure correct pin configuration and adhere to the teach-in sequence. Use recommended materials and installation techniques to maintain encoder integrity and functionality.

Shaft with shaft seal and ball bearing mounted in pre-chamber. Electronics housed in sealed main chamber. Ø 79 mm with short design length Shaft diameter 12 mm. Electrical connection for voltage supply, switching outputs and SSI position data via M12 connector or cable. The number of connectors or cables varies depending on design or customer specification. The 4 SIL2 safety switching contacts are each designed with 2 relays connected in series to guarantee reliable contact separation (no contact sticking). All contacts are galvanically separated and suitable for use in the safety chain. The switching contacts are closed during normal operation, and therefore establish a conductive connection - the relay coils are live. If the limit values are reached, the respective contact is opened. They are also opened when the switching cam encoder is not connected to the voltage supply or a fault is detected in the NOCE. At each point in time, the integrated relay monitoring function compares whether the specified ON/OFF switching status of each switching contact is correct (nominal/actual comparison). If a deviation is detected due to a relay fault, emergency status is assumed. TWK-ELEKTRONIK GmbH Bismarckstraße 108 [email protected] visit

Switching cam encoder NOCE /S3- SIL2/ SSI Interface-7

Digital switching cam encoder - model NOCE / S3 Switching outputs Function The function of the switching outputs is implemented using relays. Two relays are connected in series per switching output. This measure significantly increases reliable separation of the contacts, even if one relay does not separate (contact sticking). In terms of operating voltage and the SSI output signal, the contacts are galvanically separated. The relay monitoring function detects whether a relay contact is open or closed as specified by the controller - i.e. whether it has the required switching status (ACTUAL status...

Switching cam encoder NOCE /S3- SIL2/ SSI Interface-8

Digital switching cam encoder - model NOCE / S3 Cam diagrams and setting - Version 1 To define the position of the switching flanks, the relative position of all cams to Cam1 must be specified for each switching flank (cam) on ordering (a, b and c → e.g. in shaft revolutions). With Cam Preset, all switching flanks are shifted en bloc without changing their position relative to one another. The desired position in the switching flank ensemble (usage of d) or the desired switching flank as specified is located at the current shaft position. Example of the specification that the descending flank...
