Type Of Cam Data - Mitsubishi Electric R32MTCPU Programming Manual

Type of cam data

The cam data methods used in the cam function are linear cam, stroke ratio data format, coordinate data format, and auto-
generation data format. Cam data is arranged in the "Cam storage area" and "Cam open area".
Refer to memory operation of cam data for details of each area. (Page 79 Memory operation of cam data)
The following describes each type of cam data.
Linear cam control
When "0" is set for "[Pr.440] Cam No. (D15062+150n)", the cam data operates as a straight line with a 100% stroke ratio at
the last point. Linear cam data does not consume the cam open area. Also, linear cam data cannot be read/written as storage
data.

Stroke ratio data format
The stroke ratio data format is defined in equal divisions for one cam cycle based on the cam resolution, and configured with
stroke ratio data from points within the cam resolution.
Refer to create cam data for setting methods for cam data. (Page 79 Create Cam Data)
