LOCON 100 and extension module LOCON 100-Out I/O32

Device Replacement

The LOCON 100 was discontinued at the end of 2023. A 1:1 replacement and a successor device are not available. Alternatively, a ROTARNOCK 100 can be used. Attention: ROTARNOCK 100 is not suitable for applications in which an incremental encoder is used.

Configuration

By factory setting all LOCON 100 cam controls are configured as follows:

  • Outputs: 16
  • Encoder type: SSI Singleturn
  • Real encoder resolution: 4096
  • Virtual encoder resolution: 4096
  • Idle time: Bitwise

This by default configuration can be changed by using TERM 6 or the software WINLOC 32.

Programming

LOCON 100 can be programmed by TERM 6 or TERM 24 or the software WINLOC 32. The PROFIBUS-Version can be programmed also via PROFIBUS. The Modbus-version can by programmed via Modbus.

LOCON 100

LOCON 100 features a serial RS232-interface and a RS485-(DICNET) interface, the needed setting is made through the corresponding rotary coding switches High und Low, located at the bottom side of the device.

Switch position
High Low Meaning
D DICNET-Address DICNET-Operation, Bus Termination inactive
E DICNET-Address DICNET-Operation, Bus Termination active
F F RS232-Operation

Only the DICNET-Addresses 0 ... 15 (decimal) are supported (right rotary coding switch Low = DICNET-Address). Examples:

Switch Position
High Low Meaning
D 3 bus termination inactive, DICNET-Address 3
E C bus termination active, DICNET-Address 12

Note: The setting via the rotary coding switches is done in hexadecimal.

LOCON 100-PB (PROFIBUS)

LOCON 100-PB (PROFIBUS) is always PROFIBUS-Slave and features a serial RS232-interface and a PROFIBUS-Interface, instead of the RS485-(DICNET) Interface, the needed setting is made through the corresponding rotary coding switches High und Low, located at the bottom side of the device.

Switch Position
High Low Meaning
0 0 PROFIBUS-operation, external address assignment
0 1 PROFIBUS-operation, Address 1
7 D PROFIBUS-operation, Address 125
7 E PROFIBUS-operation, external address assignment
F F RS232-operation

Note: The setting via the rotary coding switches is done in hexadecimal.
In LOCON 100-PB two modes are selectable through WINLOC32 via the PROFIBUS-Interface.

The PROFIBUS-Address (Slave-ID) is set by factory Setting on 126 (decimal). If the rotary coding switch is on position "00" und "7E" then any desired address can be assigned either through WINLOC32 or the PROFIBUS-Master. The GSD-file (L100.GSD) and 2 example projects S7-example project and TIA-example project are available for download on our homepage. Further information regarding LOCON 100-PB can be found in the manual Cam Controls with Fieldbus-Connection.

LOCON 100-MB (Modbus)

LOCON 100-MB (Modbus) is always a Modbus-RTU-Slave and is only available in the 2-core cable-version. LOCON 100-MB features a RS232-Standard-Interface as well as a RS232-(Modbus-RTU) Interface and a RS485-(Modbus-RTU) Interface, which can be changed by adjusting the rotary coding switch High located at the bottom side of the device.

Switch position
High Low Meaning
C x RS232-Modbus (X = ModbusSlave-ID)
D x RS485-Modbus without bus termination (x = Modbus-Slave-ID)
E x RS485-Modbus with activated bus termination (x = Modbus-Slave-ID)
F x RS232-Standard Interface

Note: Only Modbus-Addresses 1 ... 15 (decimal) are supported (right rotary coding switch Low = ID). The Broadcast address 0 is not supported. The Setting via the rotary coding switch is done in hexadecimal.
The following Modbus-RTU-commands are supported by the device:

Modbus-RTU-commands
command meaning
03 (0x03) Read Holding Registers
16 (0x10) Preset Multiple Regs

The transmission baud rate is 19200 Baud; No Parity. The manual LOCON 100-MB Communication with ModScan32 describes how cams are set via a Modbus master. Further information regarding LOCON 100-MB can be found in chapter 8 LOCON 100 with Modbus of the Manual for LOCON 100.

LOCON 100-Out I/O32 (Extension module)

LOCON 100-Out I/O32 is an extension module and contains 32 I/Os. With this extension module the basic device LOCON 100 resp. (-PB)) is expanded to a total of 48 I/Os (incl. 16 I/Os of LOCON 100 bzw. (-PB)). LOCON 100-Out I/O32 does not contain its own processor. Therefore, the switching accuracy (cycle time) depends on the LOCON 100 bzw. (-PB)).
