Starting point for next cycle

EB 1

Enable ECAM mode

JGA=4000

Set A to jog at 4000

EG ,0

Engage both A and B when Master = 0

BGA

Begin jog on A axis

#LOOP;JP#LOOP,V1=0

Loop until the variable is set

EQ,2000

Disengage B when Master = 2000

MF2000

Wait until the Master goes to 2000

ST A

The above example shows how the ECAM program is structured and how the commands can be given to the controller. The next page provides the results captured by the WSDK program. This shows how the motion will be seen during the ECAM cycles. The first graph is for the A axis, the master, and the second graph shows the cycle on the B axis.
