Tag The name of the axis to which the cam
profile is applied. Ellipsis launches Axis
Properties dialog.
Motion Control MOTION_INSTRUCTION MOTION_INSTRUCTION Tag Structure used to access block status
parameters.
Direction UINT32 UINT32 Immediate or
Tag
Relative direction of the slave axis to the
master axis:
0 = Same – the axis position values in
the cam profile are added to the
command position of the axis.
1 = Opposite – the axis position values in
the cam profile are subtracted from the
command position of the axis creating
axis motion in the other direction from
that implied in the original cam table.
Or relative to the current or previous
camming direction:
2 = Reverse – the current or previous
direction of the position cam is changed
either from Same to Opposite or vice
versa. When executed for the first time
with Reverse selected, the control
defaults the direction to Opposite.
3 = Unchanged – this allows other cam
parameters to be changed without
altering the current or previous camming
direction. When executed for the first
time with Unchanged selected, the
control defaults the direction to Same.
Cam Profile CAM_PROFILE CAM_PROFILE Array Tag name of the calculated cam profile
array. Only the zero array element ([0]) is
allowed for the Cam Profile array. Ellipsis
launches Cam Profile Editor.
Distance Scaling REAL REAL Immediate or
Tag
Scales the total distance covered by the
axis through the cam profile.
Time Scaling REAL REAL Immediate or
Tag
Scales the time interval covered by the
cam profile.
