■Coordinate data format
The coordinate data format is defined in coordinates of more than 2 points for one cam cycle. The coordinate data is
represented as "(Input value, Output value)".
Input value: Cam axis current value per cycle
Output value: Stroke position from cam reference position
With this format, "[Pr.441] Cam stroke amount" of output axis parameter is ignored and output value of the coordinate data
becomes cam stroke position.
Refer to the following for setting methods for cam data.

Cam No. Set the cam No.
Cam data format Set "2".
(Setting with the engineering tool is not
required.)
Coordinate number Set the number of coordinate points in one
cam cycle. The coordinates are included at
the 0th point.
Cam data starting Setting is not required with coordinate data
point format.
