4.3 Fixed point

Field/button

Explanation/instructions

v =

Under v =, the current velocity at the position of the fixed point is

 

displayed.

 

(see note below)

a =

Under a =, the current acceleration at the position of the fixed

(manual input activated)

point is displayed.

 

If Manual input is deactivated, the acceleration value is

 

calculated by the system. The jerk diagram (J diagram) is

 

smooth at the position of the fixed point.

 

If Manual input is activated, you can enter an acceleration value.

 

To change the acceleration, enter the new acceleration under a =

 

and click Accept or OK. The display of the fixed point in the

 

diagrams is refreshed.

Manual input

If you activate Manual input, you can enter an acceleration value

 

under a =.

 

If you deactivate Manual input, the acceleration value is

 

calculated by the system. The jerk diagram (J diagram) is

 

smooth at the position of the fixed point.

Notice

To specify an absolute slave velocity, you must select an absolute master velocity for calculations in the Simulation Settings window.

4.3.5Changing the acceleration at a fixed point position:

Requirements

The cam is opened with SIMOTION CamTool.

Change acceleration at fixed point

To change the acceleration at the fixed point position:

1.Right-click the fixed point and select Direct entry for acceleration in the displayed context menu.

2.The acceleration at a fixed point position is represented by a handle in the A diagram (acceleration diagram).

Select the handle. The mouse pointer shows the direction in which you can move the handle.

3.Move the handle with drag&drop to the new position.
