Switching cam encoder NOCE

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document outlines the NOCE model, a play-free electronic digital switching cam encoder equipped with an electromagnetic absolute encoder and SSI output. It is suitable for stationary and mobile machines, including power plants, wind turbines, and cranes. Key features include up to four electronically controlled switching outputs, robust design for high vibration and shock resistance, and an integrated absolute multiturn encoder with an SSI interface.
Design: The encoder features a dual-chamber design made from aluminum or stainless steel, with a shaft that includes a radial shaft seal and ball bearing. The electronics are housed in a sealed main chamber. The standard version has a diameter of 64 mm, with an option for a 79 mm version. It supports up to six switching contacts and uses M12 connectors or cables for electrical connections.
Technical Specifications:
  • Mechanical Data: The shaft diameter is 12 mm, with a maximum operating speed of 1000 rpm and a bearing service life exceeding 109 revolutions.
  • Environmental Data: The operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C, with shock and vibration resistance according to DIN standards.
  • Electrical Data: The operating voltage ranges from 11 VDC to 28 VDC, with a resolution of 4096 steps per 360° (12-bits) and a measuring range of 4096 revolutions.
Switching Outputs: The encoder includes relays with changeover contacts and PhotoMOS semiconductors for switching outputs, which are galvanically separated and can switch both AC and DC currents. These outputs are electronically activated for wear-free operation.
SSI Interface: The encoder utilizes a serial SSI interface for precise angle or position registration, supporting a maximum clock frequency of 1 MHz and designed for a measuring range of 4096 revolutions, with options for 256 or 16 revolutions.
Order Code and Variants: Details on the order code for different variants are provided, including housing material, number of switching outputs, and electrical connections.
Installation and Accessories: The document includes installation drawings and information on accessories such as mating connectors and play-compensating toothed gears.
Specifications: The NOCE encoder uses an absolute encoder to determine shaft position, with switching outputs set to specific angles. The factory setting for the switching length is 4320° (12 revolutions). The encoder can be pre-programmed according to customer specifications, allowing multiple cams per switching output.
Preset Function: The encoder features a preset function for on-site calibration of the cams, allowing the position of the cams to be shifted in relation to the SSI position signal. A switching hysteresis of approximately 1° is pre-programmed to prevent relay flutter due to shaft vibrations.
Installation: Detailed installation drawings for different NOCE models are included, specifying dimensions and materials used, such as aluminum housing and stainless steel shafts. Connectors are available in various configurations, with a maximum voltage of 30 V for M12 connectors.
Programming: Programming examples for setting relay and cam positions using the SSI output signal are provided. The SSI signal can be preset to zero, affecting the position of all switching flanks. The encoder supports a resolution of 4096 steps per revolution, with options for higher resolutions.
Accessories: Various accessories are available, including play-compensating toothed gears and different coupling options. Installation recommendations and order codes for these accessories are provided.
Customer Programming: Customers can specify pre-programming for switching outputs, with a maximum of three cams per output. Tables for entering desired programming values are included.

Switching cam encoder NOCE-1

Play-free electronic digital switching cam encoder with electromagnetic absolute encoder / SSI output Model NOCE  Play-free version for use instead of electromechanical switching cam encoders  For use in stationary and mobile machines and systems, particularly for power plants, wind turbines, cranes, etc.  Up to four electronically controlled switching outputs consisting of - 2 x PhotoMOS - 2 x Relay: Changeover contacts  Integrated absolute multiturn encoder with SSI interface and resolution up to 13 bits  SSI position signal and switching outputs can be preset via preset inputs  High vibration and shock resistance thanks to the robust design Robust housing in dual-chamber design in aluminium (AlMgSi1) or stainless steel (1.4305 resp. 1.4404). Shaft with radial shaft seal and ball bearing mounted in the prechamber. Electronics housed in the sealed main chamber. TWK-ELEKTRONIK GmbH Heinrichstrasse 85 Version: Ø 64 mm (standard) with clamping collar and M6 threaded holes plus two device connectors and two switching outputs. Ø 79 mm (on request) with short housing length and up to 6 switching contacts Shaft diameter 12 mm. Electrical connection for voltage supply, switching outputs and analogue data via M12 connectors or cables. The number of connectors or cables varies (up to a maximum of two) depending on version or customer specifications. The NOCE64 has four switching contacts (6 at model NOCE79 possible). The version with two contacts contains two mechanical relays with changeover contacts. The version with four contacts contains two additional semiconductors (PhotoMOS) which represent a NO contact each. Each semiconductor switching contact is separated by an Opto - Isolator from the rest potential of the NOCE, so that these switching outputs - as well as the relays – are galvanically isolated. The PhotoMOS units can switch AC and DC. All four switching contacts (NO - normally open contacts - by the relays) are closed during normal operation, thus providing a constant current flow. When a contact switching value (shaft position) is reached the appropriate contact opens. All limit values are separately adjustable for each contact. Also, contacts are open when the cam switch is not connected to power supply.

Switching cam encoder NOCE-6

Function To precisely register and output the angle or the position of the shaft, the contactless electromagnetic sensor system is equipped with serial SSI interface, with the result that the measurement variable is available as a digital, serial datum. The absolute angle information present in the absolute encoder is serially and synchronously transmitted to the receiver electronics within one cycle. The essential advantages of this are the low number of data cables and extensive protection against interference (an exhaustive description of the SS/ interface is contained in TWK's SS/ 10630 pamphlet)....

Switching cam encoder NOCE-7

Function The function ofthe switching outputs is implemented by means of relays and PhotoMOS semiconductors. The relays have changeover contacts. Each changeover contact is routed out via the relevant switching cam encoder connector for use by the customer. The contacts are galvanically separated in terms of operating voltage and the SSI output signal. The PhotoMOS semiconductors are as well galvanically separated. Two contacts of each PhotoMOS are routed out. The information regarding when which relay is to pick up and drop off again is made available to the relay control system by the internal...

Switching cam encoder NOCE-8

On activation of the preset function for the switching outputs in accordance with the table, the relevant switching flank (see cam diagram) is set precisely at the current shaft position. It can be ascertained that the switching output switches at this point by rotating the shaft around this position. On use of the programmer PMA-NOC-03, this can be recognised by the fact that the LED comes on and goes off. The switching contact (or LED) does not necessarily react immediately to the preset process without a shaft position change. Note: The switching flanks of the individual cams always refer...
