8.5 Electronic Cam Function
8.5.1 Outline of Electronic Cam Function
Electronic cam function
The electronic cam function uses a preset cam pattern, determines the movement amount of
the slave axes according to the operation of the master axis (phase information) and cam
pattern, and outputs the movement amount. The cam pattern uses one rotation of the master
axis as an operation reference, based on which the displacement of the slave axes in each
phase (rotation angle) is defined on the Configurator screen.

Cam pattern
The cam pattern uses one rotation of the master axis as an operation reference, based on
which the displacement of the slave axes in each phase (rotation angle) is defined. The cam
pattern is defined with the phase (rotation angle) of the master axis based on one rotation as
a reference on the X-axis and the displacement on the Y-axis in percent. The cam pattern is
set with the desired settings for the positioning unit selected from the FPWIN GR7
Configuration screen.
