Output cam type
1. Select an output cam type on the basis of the required switching behavior:
● Position-based cam (position-dependent switch-on/switch-off)
● Time-based cam (position-dependent switch-on and position-independent or time-
dependent switch-off)
Output cam reference
1. In this selection, configure whether the switching points of the output cams are to
reference the actual position or the position setpoint.
Unit of measurement
The unit of measurement shown for the position of the output cam corresponds to the unit of
measurement of the higher-level technology object.
When a time-based cam is selected as the output cam type, the unit of measurement for the
switch-on duration and other times is also indicated. The unit of measurement for output
cams is always ms.
Hardware interface
Select the type of cam output in the Hardware interface configuration window.
