Interconnections
The technology objects that are interconnected with the channel are listed in the
Interconnections area.
If technology objects are interconnected, you can reach the respective technology object
through links (arrow icons).
Use the corresponding button to update the selection list. Updating may be required, for
example, if changes have been made to technology objects elsewhere in the project while
the channel configuration is open.
Assigning the output cam technology object
The output cam technology object must always be assigned to another technology object
whose position is evaluated.
You can assign the output cam technology object to the following technology objects:
• Synchronous axis
• Positioning axis
• External encoder
You can assign exactly one axis or one external encoder to the output cam.
You can assign multiple output cams to one axis or one external encoder.
