Features:
- The FM 352 compares encoder position with configured electronic cam points.
- Thirteen protected outputs change state according to the assigned cam pattern.
- Incremental and SSI encoder paths support different signal levels and cable limits.
Position feedback enters through the encoder interface before the module evaluates the programmed switching points.
Four digital inputs add external control conditions independently of the thirteen cam outputs.
The configuration package and 20-pin front connector complete the software and field-wiring sides of the module.
The Siemens 6ES7352-1AH01-0AE0 FM 352 Electronic Cam Controller may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Turning position values into switching points
- Position source: The selected encoder supplies the current machine position to the function module.
- Cam data: Configured position points define where each electronic cam changes state.
- Output result: The comparison result operates the associated digital output.
- Cycle control: External inputs can influence the module operation without replacing the encoder path.
Matching signal level to distance and rate
- RS422 input: Differential incremental signals support the higher documented counting frequency.
- 24 V input: Asymmetrical encoder wiring uses lower limits that depend on cable length.
- SSI value: An absolute encoder sends a 13-bit or 25-bit Gray-code position word.
- Supply choice: The module provides separate 5 V and 24 V encoder-supply options within their current limits.
Applying cam results to field loads
- Channel count: Thirteen digital outputs carry the programmed cam states.
- Load range: Each energized path must remain within the permitted output-current interval.
- Protection: Short-circuit protection acts on the output stage when a field path is overloaded.
- Supply reference: Output operation depends on the connected 24 V load supply and correct front wiring.
Aligning configuration with the installed hardware
- Encoder setup: Signal level, coding and resolution must match the connected feedback device.
- Cable check: Frequency and run length are evaluated together for the chosen encoder interface.
- Cam assignment: Each switching point is associated with the intended output before the machine is tested.
- Connector review: The 20-pin front-connector wiring is checked against the four inputs, thirteen outputs and supply paths.
