MasterOffset:0 and SlaveOffset:0 and the impact of MasterScaling and SlaveScaling on
the cam relationship
Case 1: The actual cam relationship is consistent with the preplanned one as the values of
MasterScaling and SlaveScaling are 1 and their offsets are 0.
Case 2: The slave position corresponding to the master axis position is two times what is
planned in the cam relationship as the value of MasterScaling is 1, SlaveScaling is 2
and their offsets are 0.
Case 3: The slave position corresponding to the master axis position is 1/2 that in the planned
cam relationship as the value of MasterScaling is 1, SlaveScaling is 0.5 and their
offsets are 0.
Case 4: The master axis position corresponding to the slave axis position is 1/2 what is planned
as the value of MasterScaling is 0.5, SlaveScaling is 1 and their offsets are 0. If it is
observed from the perspective of the cam phase, the master axis cam phase is 1/2
what is preplanned. That is, the master cam cycle changes from 360 to 180
(180=360*0.5) and the slave axis cam phase is unchanged.
Case 5: The master axis position corresponding to the slave axis position is 2 times what is
planned as the value of MasterScaling is 2, SlaveScaling is 1 and their offsets are 0. If it
is observed from the perspective of the cam phase, the master axis cam phase is two
