the initial cam. This method addresses cases where immediate cams would finish 
before the pending cam could be reliably loaded. 
After a Pending time cam has been configured, the Time Cam Pending Status bit 
of the Motion Status word for the specified axis is set to 1 (true). When the 
pending (new) profile is initiated and becomes the current profile, Time Cam 
Pending Status bit is immediately cleared as shown below. 
 
Master Driven Speed Control (MDSC) and Pending CAMS 
For the Master Driven Speed Control (MDSC) function, a pending CAM is 
specified with an Execution Schedule of Pending. 
Both a pending CAM and the active CAM must be in the same mode - either both 
in time driven mode or both in MDSC driven mode. An instruction that pends a 
CAM to an active CAM in a different mode (than the active CAM) will cause an 
error. 
All pending CAMs must use the Immediate Forward or the Immediate Reverse 
Lock Direction. A pending CAM with a specified Lock Position with a Position 
Forward Only or Position Reverse Only Lock Direction will cause a 
LOCK_DIRECTION_CONFLICT (95) error. See MDSC Error Codes for a 
list of runtime error codes. A second pending CAM overlays the first pending 
CAM in memory.
