How to Start the CAM-Editor
MCT 10 Online and Offline Mode
The configuration files (*.zbc and *.cnf) can be opened using MCT 10. Doing so, the APOSS CAM editor is
also started. Depending on the mode some menu functions are disabled. Use the functions of the MCT 10
Motion Control Tools for New, Open and Save as.
The file must contain minimum one curve. If the file does not contain a curve, you will be requested to add
a curve to this file. In opposite you cannot delete the last curve of a file.
If you are starting with new curve profiles and a configuration file does not yet exist, then the recommen-
ded procedure is always to start with parameters from the controller to which the curve profiles are
intended.
NB!:
If parameters are not read from the controller, then default factory settings will be used. In this
case, the existing controller parameters will be overwritten with the factory defaults when this
configuration file is downloaded to the controller.
When the CAM editor is closed, then APOSS is exit also and the program returns to the MCT 10.
Click on → Write to Drive, to download the new zbc values (especially the CAM arrays) to the drive. The new
values will also be save in the MCT 10 data base and will overwrite a prior version of the file (i.e. it restore it
into the MCT 10 data base).
APOSS stand-alone
Using APOSS stand-alone click on Tools → CAM-Editor to start the editor or click the
icon. An "Open file" dialog will be displayed allowing the user to select the configuration file to be edited.
The CAM-Editor Window will then be opened.
The CAM-Editor can also be started by using File → Open and selecting the configuration file to be opened.
Simply double-clicking on a configuration file in Windows will also start the CAM-Editor. Note that double-
clicking a ".cnf" file will not start the CAM-Editor; the file must be a ".zbc" file.
If you are starting with new curve profiles and a configuration file does not yet exist, then the recommen-
ded procedure is always to start with parameters from the controller to which the curve profiles are
intended. This can be done in the following ways:
1. First connect to the controller and then create a configuration file using Controller → Parameters →
Save to file. The newly created configuration file can then be opened with the CAM-Editor.
2. Open a "new" configuration file by either using File → New or by starting the CAM-Editor and
pressing → Create empty file in the subsequent "Open file" dialog. Then use the
Controller toolbar button to read the current parameters from the controller.
NB!:
If parameters are not read from the controller, then default factory settings will be used. In this
case, the existing controller parameters will be overwritten with the factory defaults when this
configuration file is downloaded to the controller.
New configuration files will not contain any curve profiles. Use the →
insert a new curve profile.
Several sample configuration files containing curve profiles can be found using File → Sample.
