1-1. Summary
Troublesome Cam Adjustments Made Easy By An Electronic Switch Format
A mechanical cam switch format using limit switches and cams has long been the standard in automatic
machinery such as packing, printing, press, and assembly machines, and difficult angular adjustment
and switch replacement procedures have long been the cause of headaches.
Now, with the VS-5E Series, this mechanical switch format has been replaced with an easy electronic
cam switch format. With our durable Absocoder sensor mounted on the rotational axis, the switch
ON/OFF positions can be easily designated from the Controller to obtain cam outputs witch correspond
to the rotational angle.

1-2. Features
(1)Easy Setting Procedure With No Cam Adjustments
ON/OFF-position settings are designated by a simple key input operation. Settings can also be
designated using the TEACH function.
(2)Compact Design And Minimal Wiring

With only a compact Sensor mounted on the machine, minimal space is required. The Sensor and
Controller are connected by a single cable, making connection quick and easy.
(3)Durable Absocoder Sensor

NSD’s unique Absocoder Position Sensor is designed to withstand vibration, shocks, severe
temperatures, oil, and dust, etc., making it ideal for factory environments.
(4)No Origin-Point Return Required When Power is Interrupted

An absolute angle detection format eliminates cumulative error, and does away with the need for
origin-point returns when the power supply is interrupted.
(5)Automated Setup Changes

With the VS-5ED and VS-5EX Models, several Programs can be registered in advance. When a
setup change occurs, simply select the appropriate Program.
(6)Accommodates High-Speed Machine Operation

With a switch ON/OFF width of 1 degree, response is possible for speeds as high as 900 r/min,
enabling faster machine speeds.
(7)Three Sensor Size Available(φ28, φ62)

The appropriate sized sensor for your specific needs can be selected. (φ28 small size, φ62
standard size.)
(8)100 Meter Cable Extension

The standard 2-meter sensor cable can be extended to 100 meters using the special extension cable.

Function Description
The operating principle is the same as the mechanical cam disk and limit
switch format. ON/OFF settings are designated at the Controller, and switch
output ON/OFF operations occur according to the rotation angle of the Sensor.

(0゜)
The primary feature of the Varicam system is that it enables switch output
settings to be changed quickly and easily. However, there are certain switch
outputs where an easy setting change is not desirable.
Protected Switch
The “Protected Switch” function is used in such cases to prevent the setting
Function
from being changed in the usual manner. To change or delete a protected
switch, the Protected Switch function must first be canceled.
The Protected Switch function can be used for switch Nos. 1-10.
This output, which consists of ON/OFF signal outputs evenly spaced through 1
revolution, is convenient for detecting the rotation speed. 60, 180, or 360(per
revolution) timing pulse types can be selected.

Function Description

Function (Standard VS-5EX function)
Switch ON/OFF positions are designated by actually moving the machine to

those positions.
When the Programmable Controller reads the current position output, the
current position value changes faster than the Controller can scan the data,
making a correct reading impossible. To counter this problem, the HOLD
function prevents the current position value form changing when Controller
reading occurs.

5-2. Mounting Procedure & Precautions
The Controller and Sensor installation procedure and precautions are described in this section. Refer to
item 3 (Outer Dimensions) at the Specifications Section for further mounting information.
5-2-1. Controller Mounting Procedure & Precautions

When installing the Controller, the following conditions and precautions should be observed.
●Installation Site
The following conditions should be satisfied:
1) The Controller should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
2) The ambient temperature should be kept within a 0-55℃ range.
3) The ambient humidity should be kept within a 20-90% RH range.
4) Avoid areas where condensation is likely (high humidity areas with extreme temperature changes).
5) Avoid areas where dust is excessive.
6) Avoid areas containing high levels of salt or rust.
7) The site should be free of flammable and corrosive gases.
8) The site should be away from splashing water, oil, or chemicals.
9) Avoid areas where vibration and shocks are excessive.
●Installation Precautions
1) Either secure the unit with 2 M4 screws, or secure it to a DIN rail.
(Recommended DIN rail: PFP100N (2) (Omron Co.)
2) In order to improve noise resistance, install as far away as possible from high-voltage and power cables.
3) A space of approximately 85mm is required beneath the Controller to plug in and unplug the connectors.

The Sensor shaft pinion should be as light (small) as possible.

This is especially true for environments where vibration/shocks

(4) For chain or pulley ① When a chain or pulley linkage format is used, there is an
linkage inherent risk of the shaft’s load being increased by the
resulting tension.
Therefore, a bearing should be used, with the shafts being
linked by a coupling device immediately behind the bearing.

ON. If an output HOLD status is in effect, the switch output and timing pulse output statuses will be
maintained when a change from the RUN to the CLEAR mode occurs. The System Ready output will
