8.2.1.1 Creating Electronic Cam Data
There are two methods of creating electronic cam data.
Method 1: Function that relates the positions of a master axis to the positions of a slave axis
Method 2: Measuring the relation between the positions of a master axis and the positions of a slave
axis at work
Please refer to section 8.3 for more information.
8.2.1.2

Setting an Input/a Output Pulse Type

1. Setting an input pulse type
The master axis specified can be a manual pulse generator, a motion axis, C200, C204, C208,
C216, or C220. If users use a counter as a master axis, they have to set an input pulse type.
They can set an input pulse type for the counter used by means of the motion control function
block T_HCnt.
