Omron H8PS-16BF H8PS Cam Positioner

Description

Precise rotational control and high-speed timing synchronization in industrial machinery are achieved using the H8PS-16BF solid-state cam positioner. Operating as a robust electronic replacement for traditional mechanical cam switches, this controller monitors the rotation angle of an external encoder to trigger dynamic control sequences. The device features 16 NPN transistor outputs, providing versatile multi-point output configurations suitable for high-speed machinery control loops.

Housed in a compact 1/4 DIN (96 x 96 mm) enclosure, the controller is designed for simplified installation within crowded control panels. It integrates a backlit LCD display for real-time monitoring of rotation angles and programming parameters. Users can easily change the encoder rotation direction to forward (CW) or reverse (CCW) using an integrated DIP switch, eliminating the need for complex mechanical adjustments during installation.

Features

• Compact 1/4 DIN profile measuring 96 x 96 mm, offering flexible mounting on a standard DIN rail or directly on-panel.
• Equipped with an easy-to-read LCD screen with an integrated backlight for visibility in low-light environments.
• Selectable encoder rotation direction (clockwise/counter-clockwise) configured via hardware-level DIP switches.
• 16 high-speed NPN transistor outputs designed to handle high-frequency operation without contact wear.
• Reliable feedback integration using high-performance rotational encoder inputs.

Applications

• Packaging machinery for timing critical operations like sealing, cutting, and wrapping.
• Food and beverage manufacturing conveyor systems.
• Metal press and stamping machines.
• Material handling sorting systems and rotary table positioning.

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Mount the device securely into a 96 x 96 mm cutout for on-panel integration, or secure it onto a standard 35mm DIN rail using compatible mounting adapters.
• Wiring: Route high-voltage power lines away from the encoder input cables and NPN transistor signal lines to prevent electromagnetic noise coupling.
• Shielding: Use shielded twisted-pair cables for encoder connections and ensure the shield is properly grounded.
• DIP Switch Configuration: Ensure the power to the unit is switched off before adjusting the encoder rotation direction DIP switches.
