Arguments • start_point
The address of the first element in the TABLE array to be used.
Being able to specify the start point allows the TABLE array to hold
more than one profile and/or other information.
• end_point
The address of the end element in the TABLE array.
• table_multiplier
The Table multiplier value used to scale the values stored in the
TABLE. As the Table values are specified in encoder edges, use this
argument to set the values for instance to the unit conversion factor
(set by UNITS parameter).
• distance
A factor given in user units that controls the speed of movement
through the Table. The time taken to execute CAM depends on the
current axis speed and this distance. For example, assume the sys-
tem is being programmed in mm and the speed is set to 10 mm/s
and the acceleration sufficiently high. If a distance of 100 mm is
specified, CAM will take 10 seconds to execute.
The SPEED parameter in the base axis allows modification of the
speed of movement when using the CAM move.
Note: When the CAM command is executing, the ENDMOVE parame-
ter is set to the end of the previous move.
