Suspend
Cam.Suspend
When Cam.Suspend is activated the current cam will stop using the Cam.Decel ramp rate (if Cam.DecelEnable is enabled). The
cam will accept a Cam.Resume after a suspend. The suspend records the master and follower positions at the point of the suspend
for future Cam.Resume execution.
Max Accel
Cam.#.Accel
This parameter is the maximum acceleration for the Time Base Index cam type. The time base index will not accelerate faster than
this value.
Backward Chain
Cam.#.BackwardChain
This parameter holds the next cam table to initiate if this cam table completes in reverse (master axis is moving from larger to
smaller position values). This is only available in bidirectional mode. The next cam table will be initiated at the end (which is really
the starting point) of the current table. If no cam is to be initiated, this value should be set to –1 (minus one) to stop at the end of the
cam table execution.
Cam Table Complete
Cam.#.CamTableComplete
This parameter is active when the specified cam table motion command is completed, if a stop is activated before the cam has
completed this parameter will not be activated. Inactivated when the specified can command is executed.
Cam Table In Motion
Cam.#.CamTableInMotion
This parameter is active (on) when the specified cam table is executing. Note this source may be on even when no physical motor
motion is occurring. For example the master may not be moving, but the follower is still considered to be in a Commanding Motion
state.
Cam Table Size
Cam.#.CamTableSize
This parameter is the number of elements entered in the specified cam table.
Writable Check Box
Cam.#.CamTableWritable
Moves the cam table into ram memory so the user can change the cam table values using a program.
Cam Type
Cam.#.CamType
Cam types to choose from are; Master Follower, Absolute MFI, Incremental MFI, Cubic Spline, or Time Based Index. Most data
entries are "Absolute" which means each point is an absolute distance from the start of the cam table which is an implied zero,
although the starting value does not have to be zero. The Incremental MFI (Master/Follower/Interpolation) has the entries as
distance deltas from point to point which means the point is relative to the previous point.
Max Decel
Cam.#.Decel
This parameter is the maximum deceleration for the Timed Index. The timed index will not decelerate faster than this value.
Distance
Cam.#.Dist
This parameter is the incremental distance the timed index will move.
Final Velocity
Cam.#.FinalVelocity
The cam table profile will exit at this velocity. See Initial Velocity for more information. When using a single cam table, with no
chaining, simply set the Initial Velocity to zero.
