Control Details for Cam Function

The output axis for synchronous control is operated with a cam.
The following operations can be performed with cam functions.
• Two-way operation: Reciprocating operation with a constant cam strokes range.
• Feed operation: Cam reference position is updated every cycle.
• Linear operation: Linear operation (cam No.0) in the cycle as the stroke ratio is 100%.
The output axis is controlled by a value (current feed value), which is converted from the input value (cam axis current value
per cycle) by cam data.
