9.6.1 Overview of Electronic Cam Function

 What is 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 value of the slave axes in
each phase (rotation angle) is defined in the cam pattern settings of CMI.

 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 on the X-axis and the
displacement on the Y-axis in percent. The cam pattern is set in the "Cam pattern settings"
menu of CMI.
