Functions 4.9 Specify parameters for target device

Notice

If you specify a scaling, you can show and hide the scaled curve via the menu Cam > Representation parameters > Display scaling.

If the scaled curve is displayed, you cannot edit the original curve in the diagram displays.

4.9.2Target device parameters

coordinates

Specify the coordinates for the target device here.

You can set the following parameters:

Explanation/instructions

Master Range

You specify the master range (definition range) of the curve via start and

 

 

 

end points. Cam segments must lie within this master range (see also

 

 

 

Master range under S Diagram (Master) properties).

 

Start

 

Enter the start point of the curve, or the start of the master range of the

 

 

 

curve here.

 

End

 

Enter the end point of the curve, or the end of the master range of the

 

 

 

curve here.

Execution type

The Execution type specifies the interpolation of the cam by the target

 

 

 

device at the boundary points of the master range.

 

Non-cyclic

If you select the Non-cyclicexecution type. The cam cycle ends when

 

 

 

the end value of the curve is reached. The function values of the cam

 

 

 

(slave position) at the start and end point of the master range are

 

 

 

normally different.

 

 

 

Note:

 

 

 

If you activate Non-cyclic, the master range in the horizontal direction is

 

 

 

displayed once.

 

Cyclic absolute

If you select the cyclic absolute execution type, a return is made from the

 

 

 

end value of the slave axis to the start point of the slave axis and the

 

 

 

cam is repeated. The function values of the cam (slave position) at the

 

 

 

start and end point of the master range are identical. Possibly an

 

 

 

identical value (average value) is forced from the target device.

 

 

 

Note:

 

 

 

If you activate Cyclic absolute, the master range in the horizontal

 

 

 

direction can be displayed repeatedly.
