Field/Button Significance/Note
Axis modulo length The modulo length of the axis, which the cam track is linked to, is displayed here. The modulo length
does not have to be identical to the track length. To change the modulo length of the axis, you must

Deactivation time Enter the deactivation time here. The output cam switch-off time is set to the point when the end
position is reached, plus this period. The output cam position is adapted dynamically. This allows
you to compensate for propagation delays.
If a negative value is entered as a deactivation time, the switching signal is activated before the end
position is reached.
Hysteresis Enter a range for the hysteresis here. The output cam does not change its switching state in this
defined range around the switching position even under changed switching conditions. This prevents
