ANSI/IEEE Cam-operated limit switch form
IEEE-library form of cam-operated limit switch: a cam-operated limit switch changes its electrical contact state when a defined cam profile reaches the actuator.
In plain English
What does ANSI/IEEE Cam-operated limit switch form mean?
This reference locates cam-operated limit switch in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented limit switches family. A cam-operated limit switch changes its electrical contact state when a defined cam profile reaches the operating mechanism. Its position function depends on the documented cam and mechanism relationship. The public library uses HLS11S13 for its horizontal representation; this is a vendor block name, not an IEEE standards symbol number.
A simple example
Read the operating mechanism and the contact reference state together. Cross-reference every associated contact to the same device and show which movement, signal or reset changes its condition; the symbol alone does not establish the complete switching sequence.
What the drawings help you do
Link the cam position to the electrical contact schedule. Cam operation is a mechanical input, not an electrically programmed timer. The linked functional counterpart explains the same operating role in its own drawing context; agreement of every detailed convention mark is not asserted.

How to read it
- Link the cam position to the electrical contact schedule.
- The preview is an original explanation of this function. Match the actual drawing convention to its legend and the selected equipment documentation.
Information to show or reference
- Reference cam detail
- Identify operated contact
- State normal mechanism position
A distinction that matters
Cam actuation is a mechanical input, not an electrically programmed timer.
