In the Data setting area, each column in the table can be specified to define the parameters of the data points which are
listed in rows. The whole E-CAM curve are constructed by these data points (max. 20 rows), and the E-CAM cycle will
operate according to the designed E-CAM curves. The columns in the Data setting area are explained as below.
Master position: the master position of the data point
Slave position: the slave position of the data point
Slave velocity: the slave velocity calculated automatically according to the specified position.
Slave acceleration: the slave acceleration calculated automatically according to the specified position.
CAM Curve: the cam curve type between the data points, including Const Speed, Const Acc., Single Hypot.,
Cycloid, Polynomial and B-Spline.
Resolution: the resolution of current section. The resolution setting should be specified according to the equipment
requirements. The equipment operates smoother with a higher resolution, however the E-CAM data size also
grows bigger with higher resolution.
After the E-CAM editing is completed, you can use CamTable of MC_CamIn to specify the Name or the Item ID of the
E-CAM chart. The specified E-CAM chart will be applied in the E-CAM operation when the two instructions are enabled or
executed. For detailed explanations of the two instructions, refer to AH Motion Controller – Motion Control
Instructions Manual
Importing the Recorded E-CAM Data with Master/slave Relation to Create the E-CAM Curves
You can store the master/slave positions in a file, and then import the relation into a cam chart in ISPSoft. The steps of
importing the E-CAM data into a cam chart in ISPSoft are as follows.
