Switching cam encoder NOCI79/S3 SIL2

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document outlines the features and specifications of the Play-free electronic switching cam encoder, Model NOCI / S3 - SIL2, designed for stationary and mobile machinery such as power plants, wind power plants, and cranes. It includes up to four electronically controlled safety SIL2 switching outputs and an integrated multiturn SIL2 rotary encoder.
Design: The encoder is encased in a robust aluminum or stainless steel dual-chamber design, featuring a shaft seal and ball bearing in a pre-chamber. It has a compact form with a 79 mm diameter and a 12 mm shaft diameter. Electrical connections are facilitated through M12 connectors or cables.
Safety Features: The encoder is equipped with four SIL2 safety switching contacts, each with two series-connected relays for reliable contact separation. These contacts are galvanically separated and suitable for safety chains. A relay monitoring function ensures correct ON/OFF status, switching to failsafe if a fault is detected.
Technical Data:
  • Mechanical: Supports operating speeds up to 1000 rpm, angular acceleration of 105 rad/s², and a bearing service life of ≥ 109 revolutions.
  • Environmental: Operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, with resistance to shock and vibration.
  • Electrical: Operates on 9-30 VDC, with power consumption ≤ 3 W, and position resolution up to 15 bits.
Incremental Interface: Utilizes an incremental interface to register and output the shaft's angle or position, supporting a measuring range of up to 4096 revolutions for precise position measurement.
Switching Outputs: Implemented using long-life relays, each output consists of two series-connected relays for reliable contact separation. Outputs are electronically activated and deactivated, ensuring wear-free operation.
Order Information: Details on the standard version and available variants, including housing material, flange and shaft options, and electrical connections, are provided.
Specifications: Factory-preset switching flanks based on customer specifications, with standard settings involving two descending flanks in both CW and CCW directions. The switching length is set to 12 revolutions.
Cam Preset Function: Allows simultaneous adjustment of all four cams to match application requirements, with the preset point set to the middle of the switching flank ensemble or a specific cam.
Switching Contacts: Standard configuration includes two contacts opening in the CW direction and two in the CCW direction, remaining open for 12 revolutions before closing.
Teach-in Function: Requires two multi-function pins for safety, involving setting pins to logical states in a specific sequence while the shaft is stationary.
Connector Configuration: Details pin configurations for M12 connectors, including operating voltage and safety contacts, with a maximum voltage of 30 V for individual pins.
Installation and Materials: Features an aluminum housing and stainless steel shaft, with installation drawings and dimensions provided. Options for special versions and accessories like play-free clamp couplings and play-compensating measurement gears are available.
Recommendations: Ensure proper specification of switching output settings when ordering. For custom configurations or adjustments, contact technical support.

Switching cam encoder NOCI79/S3 SIL2-1

Play-free electronic switching cam encoder with electromagnetic rotary encoder Model NOCI / S3 - SIL2 / incremental interface Preliminary data sheet Play-free version for use instead of electromechanical switching cam encoders use in stationary and mobile machines For and systems, especially for power plants, wind power plants, cranes, etc. to four electronically controlled Up safety SIL2 switching outputs (relays) Integrated multiturn SIL2 rotary encoder with standard incremental interface Switching outputs can be preset via preset input Internal position resolution up to 15 bits High vibration and shock resistance thanks to robust design Robust aluminium (AlMgSi1) or stainless steel (1.4305 or 1.4404) housing in dual-chamber design. Shaft with shaft seal and ball bearing mounted in pre-chamber. Electronics housed in sealed main chamber. TWK-ELEKTRONIK GmbH Bismarckstraße 108 Ø 79 mm with short design length Shaft diameter 12 mm. Electrical connection for voltage supply, switching outputs and incremental 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 NOCI through self-diagnosis. 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, failsafe status is assumed. [email protected] visit

Switching cam encoder NOCI79/S3 SIL2-7

Electronic switching cam encoder - model NOCI / 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 incremental output signal, the contacts are galvanically1) 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...

Switching cam encoder NOCI79/S3 SIL2-8

Electronic switching cam encoder - model NOCI / S3 Cam diagrams Preset point: in the centre of the switching flanks To define the position of the switching flanks, the relative position of all cams to one another must be specified for each switching cam on ordering (values a, b → e.g. in shaft revolutions). With the Cam Preset function, all switching flanks are shifted en bloc without changing their position relative to one another. The desired preset position in the switching flank ensemble is located at the current shaft position (in this example, the middle of the ensembles or, in the next...
