Inputs/Outputs

Name
CamTable The specified cam table
The reference master
Master
*Note:
1. MC_CAM_REF (FB): The basic CAM
2. AXIS_REF_SM3 (FB): Generally, all motion function blocks have the InOut AXIS_REF_SM3.
Function

A tappet table can be set in the Cam table. Multiple tappet points can be set for one Track. 8 tappet points at most

can be read from the same tappet track via the function block.
The tappet data contains the master axis position corresponding to the tappet point, the positive passing mode and

the negative passing mode. The modes include TAPPETACTION_none, TAPPETACTION_on, TAPPETACTION_off,
TAPPETACTION_inv and TAPPETACTION_time
See the meanings of the modes in the following table.

Mode
TAPPETACTION_none
TAPPETACTION_on
TAPPETACTION_off
TAPPETACTION_inv
TAPPETACTION_time
Troubleshooting

When an error occurs during the execution of the instruction, bError will change to True. Refer to ErrorID (Error Code)

to address the problem.
Programming Example

The example explains the action principle for DMC_CamReadTappetValue and how to read the tappet data of Track

ID 2.
The example explains the action principle for DMC_CamReadTappetValue by reading the tappet data of Track ID 2.

axis
Function
No action The tappet does not take an action when the master axis passes the point.
ON The tappet is enabled when the master axis passes the point.
OFF The tappet is disabled when the master axis passes the point.
Invert The tappet status is inverted when the master axis passes the point.
When the master axis passes the point, the tappet is ON for a set period of
ON
time and then turns OFF.
