Setting

 

 

 

 

Accept from axis

(Axis)

 

 

 

 

When you create the cam for an axis that already exists

 

 

 

 

in the project, you can select the axis here. The

 

 

 

 

configured values are taken over and displayed. You

 

 

 

 

can change the master velocity for calculations.

 

 

 

(External encoder)

 

 

 

 

When you create the cam for an external encoder that

 

 

 

 

already exists in the project, you can select the external

 

 

 

 

encoder here. The configured values are taken over and

 

 

 

 

displayed.

 

 

 

None

 

 

 

 

If you select None, you can specify all parameters.

 

 

 

Time axis

 

 

 

 

If you select Time axis, you can specify the unit of

 

 

 

 

measure under Properties.

Properties

 

 

 

(Setting: None)

 

 

(Setting: Time axis)

 

 

 

Linear axis

If you select this option, you simulate the master axis as a

 

(Setting: None)

linear axis.

 

Rotary axis

If you select this option, you simulate the master axis as a

 

(Setting: None)

rotary axis.

 

Modulo rotary axis

If you select this option, you simulate the master axis as a

 

(Setting: None)

modulo rotary axis.

 

Type

 

Here you select the axis type.

 

(Setting: None)

 

 

 

Unit of measure

Here you specify the unit of measure for the axis. Select a

 

(Setting: None)

unit of measure or enter the unit of measure. The

 

(Setting: Time axis)

representation of the unit of measure is refreshed in the

 

diagrams when you click Accept or OK.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note:

 

 

 

The unit of measure is only used for the display. If the unit

 

 

 

of measure is changed, the represented values are not

 

 

 

converted.
