How is the modification from LOCON32-HC or LOCON32-PM to LOCON24 carried out?

Introductorily we like to point out that this description refers to a LOCON32-HC, that is/was configured "absolute parallel 360" as encoder type. Consequently the LOCON24 also has to contain this "O360" in the article text.

What has to be considered when using a LOCON200 in connection with TERM24?

If a (discontinued) device is supposed to be replaced by a LOCON200 and in case a TERM24 is used in the assembly, then the TERM24's Firmware must be updated at any rate. For the update the device has to be sent back to us.

TN65 - ROTARNOCK - what is it?

Es handelt sich um das gleiche Gerät. ROTARNOCK drückt die Gerätefamilie aus und TN65 ist dann der spezielle Typ bzw. die Artikelbezeichnung.

Example: ROTARNOCK 100 - describes the ROTARNOCK-family "100". The exact article description would be: TN65-4096-100-I232-E-N - there are different versions though. | | | | | | | | | | | -> Hardware option = here zero-point LED | | | | -> Shaft diameter = always 10mm | | | -> Type of idle time and interface = here bitwise and RS232 | | -> Device family = ROTARNOCK 100 | -> Resolution per revolution (real) = At R100 configurable as desired -> Identification for ROTARNOCK In case of questions concerning the order designation or an alternative device for a unit, whose production is discontinued, our distribution partners are pleased to be at your assistance.

How do you change the Profibus Ident Number?

To change the Profibus Ident Number from 3606H to 3231 the ROTARNOCK100-PB has to be connected with the PC via a serial communication (RS232). For the serial communication the following pin assignemt is valid here:

PC PIN2 (Rx) <-> ROTARNOCK 25pin D-Sub PIN17 (Tx RED) PC PIN3 (Tx) <-> ROTARNOCK 25pin D-Sub PIN18 (Rx RED) PC PIN5 (GND) <-> ROTARNOCK 25pin D-Sub PIN25 (GND)

A corresponding programming cable (including plug-in power supply) is to be ordered with the article number V3467.

The software WINLOC32 has to be installed on th PC. The interface parameters are entered in "Extras" -> "Options" -> "Port".

If the ROTARNOCK is now supplied with voltage a window opens automatically and the device brings its start-up message, e. g.: R100-48-O4096-PB(126)-232 V3.54 Ok Now place in WINLOC32 the cursor behind the last character (through a "left click") and press "n" while keeping the keys "STRG/CTRL" pressed. The following confirmation prompt appears: Ident-Nr=3606H, change to 3231H (Y/N)? N This query has to be confirmed with "y" within 3 seconds and the following confirmation appears: New Ident-Nr = 3231H After a re-start the device uses the new Ident Number and it can be put into operation.

The same way the Ident Number can also be changed back from 3231H to 3606H.

How do I replace a ROTARNOCK1/2/3/4 by a ROTARNOCK100?

Es gibt zwei Möglichkeiten um den Austausch vorzunehmen.

1. Exchange with the convenient programming software for cam controls WINLOC32 (recommended procedure): Read out (File->Upload) the ROTARNOCK that is to be replaced with the software WINLOC32 and store (File->Save) it on the hard disk or open an existing configuration file. Change from the current view to the view device configuration by clicking on the lettering Configuration on the left side of the configuration file. Activate all selection buttons on the right side. Please write down the following values provided that they are indicated: Encoder resolution, ITC (=idle time compensation) Type, Display factor, ITC Function, Turn Direction, Run-Control and Zero shift. Important: Please write down the indicated position during downtime (best in the basic position if possible) before removing the old device! Connect the ROTARNOCK100 now and carry out an upload or open an existing configuration file. Both, the ROTARNOCK 100 as well as the available configuration file should be unused, otherwise a configuration is not possible. How to set the ROTARNOK100 back in default mode can be found here. Change the current view by clicking on the lettering Configuration. Carry out the configuration now by clicking on Device Reconfiguration on the window's right side. Enter the value for the Virtual Resolution here and select the ITC Type and confirm it with OK. Change to the configuration view again and activate all selection buttons on the right side. Transfer those values from the old ROTARNOCK, you have written down before, to the new device. Provided that you have written down the value RunControl=yes, you have to set the Run-Control-output to I/O16 and the Run-Control-type to blink! Important advice: Depending on the application's construction there are different safety mechanisms. If you continue to transfer the cam values now and to download the complete program into the ROTARNOCK the outputs are directly active in dependence on the position and the cam values. This might lead to an unintentional "failure/scrap" of the application. We recommend to carry out the zero adjustment first before the cams are being transmitted to the device. Load the newly generated configuration in the ROTARNOCK100 through Download. Install the ROTARNOCK100 now and change the zero shift offset's value, until (or change the axis mechanically) the currently displayed position is the same as the one you have written down before. There are many different possibilities to carry out the zero adjustment. Sometimes they are also combined. Therefore please carry out an update again after the adjustment. In WINLOC32 the cam values, idle times and output names are transmitted from the old configuration file to the new one through Extras -> Data transfer. This function is only available in the Comfort version of WINLOC32. We are pleased to help you transmitting the data also without the Comfort version. To do so, please send an e-mail with both configuration files to hotline@deutschmann.de. After the data has been transmitted and verified, the complete file can be saved now and loaded into the device. With it the exchange is completed.

2. Exchange with manual configuration and programming with TERM6 or TERM24 (with current Firmware): The following information on the ROTARNOCK that is to be exchanged should be available: Encoder resolution, type of idle time, turn direction, indicated position before removing the old device (best in the basic position) as well as all cam values and idle times. Advice: In case your old device features the option R - RunControl, then the device has to be configured with WINLOC32. Carry out the exchange. Set the (virtual) encoder resolution and the idle time accordingly via the terminal now. The procedure is described in the corresponding manual. After that the adaptation of the sense of rotation, if necessary, occurs and after that the adjustment of the zero point. The TERM is supposed to indicate the same position as before the exchange. Now you can start entering the cams and idle times and finally the application can be tested and be put into operation. Note: Even though this procedure sounds to be short and simple you have to proceed very carefully. To enter a lot of cams is much more time-consuming than the procedure with WINLOC32.

Software tools

Configuration- and programming-software for cam controls?

A configuration- and programming-software WINLOC32 is available for all Deutschmann cam controls (NS). The basic version of that software is available free of charge (in the download-area and on the support CD). This basic version already features extensive functions. The cam control can be read out, configured and programmed. Also these files can be stored. By means of a »key« available against charge the comfort functions will be activated (online function, comfortable copying and displacing of programs....). A license that was purchased once is valid for all existing and following versions of the program. Cam controls with RS232-interface can directly be connected with the PC's COM-interface (see corresponding instruction manual for the cable connection). The cam control's signal TxD has to be wired with the PC's signal Rx and vice versa. The GND has to be wired as well. For cam controls with DICNET(485)-interface a DICADAP3 has to be used in order to connect the device with the PC. At the same time the DIC+ and DIC- wires are interconnected.

How and where do I enter the WINLOC32 comfort version license key?

First of all start WINLOC32. In the menu line "Extras" -> select "Options". A window opens. If necessary please change to the register "License". Now enter the license key you received from us. Note: When you start to enter the key the line "licence code valid" is displayed in red. If the key is entered correctly, then it turns to green. Each entered character is displayed as "*". A license that have been purchased once can be used for all follow-up versions. A WINLOC16 license also works with WINLOC32.
