12.1.1 Outline of simple cam function

Simple cam function enables synchronous control by using software instead of controlling mechanically with
cam.
The following shows a movement trajectory when the cam below is used and the input axis is rotated once.

By setting cam data and cam control data, the simple cam function enables synchronous control with an
input axis (external pulse command input, point table command, or program positioning command) with a
start of positioning.
Note that the number of write times to the Flash-ROM where the cam data is
stored is limited to approximately 10000. If the total number of write times
exceeds 10000, the servo amplifier may malfunction when the Flash-ROM
reaches the end of its useful life.
POINT
The simple cam function is available with servo amplifiers with software version
B7 or later.
The simple cam function can be used with the point table method and the
program method.
This function is not available with the servo amplifier to which the MR-D30 unit
has been connected.
When [AL. F5.2 Cam data miswriting warning] occurs during cam data writing,
set [Pr. PT34] to "5010" to initialize the cam data.
