Editing a Cam Data Variable on the Computer after Editing It from
the User Program
If you edit or overwrite a cam data variable from the user program and then use the MC_SaveCam-
Table instruction to save the cam table to non-volatile memory, you cannot edit the data with the Cam
Editor of the Sysmac Studio. This section describes how to use spreadsheet software to edit the data
and then use it as a cam table.
Transfer Cam Table [Controller to File]:
Uploads the cam table from the Controller and saves it in a CSV file.
Transfer Cam Table [File to Controller]:
Downloads the cam table from a CSV file to the Controller.

• Right-click the cam profile to download and select Transfer Cam Table [File to Controller] from
the menu.
• The Open File Dialog Box is displayed. Specify the file to transfer, and then click the OK Button.
• To enable the cam table that you transferred, reset the Controller or cycle the power supply to the

Precautions for Correct Use Precautions for Correct Use
• Synchronize the data with the Controller before you transfer a cam table from a file to the Con-
troller.
• If you transfer the cam table to the Controller during a synchronization operation after you
transfer a cam table from a file to the Controller, the cam table in the Controller is replaced with
the data in the Cam Data Settings. Either transfer the cam data from the file to the Controller
again, or do not include the Cam Data Settings in the synchronization data.
