7.9.3 Creating Electronic Cam Data
Electronic cam data defines the relation between the positions of a master axis and the positions of a slave axis.
Before you create a cam chart in ISPSoft, you have to know the relation between the positions of a master axis and the
position a slave axis. There are two methods of getting the relation between the positions of a master axis and the
positions of a slave axis.
Method 1: Creating master/slave relation by setting E-CAM data
Method 2: Importing the recorded E-CAM data with master/slave relation to create the E-CAM curves
After electronic cam data defines the relation between the master/slave positions, you can get the positions of the slave
axis by means of the positions of the master axis.
7.9.3.1 Creating a CAM Chart in ISPSoft
Creating master/slave relation by setting E-CAM data
After you create a project in ISPSoft, right-click E-CAM Editor in the system information area, and click NEW, the New
E-CAM-Chart window will appear. Set the parameters in the New E-CAM-Chart window, and then click OK, An E-CAM
data item under E-CAM Editor will appear in the system information area. The below steps are the procedures for setting
up parameters for the new E-CAM chart.
Type an E-CAM name in the
Name
box.
Type an E-CAM ID in the
Item ID
box. E-CAM ID ranges from 1 to 32.
If you want to set an E-CAM password, you have to type the same password in the two boxes. You can only type
English letters, numerical digits. When the E-CAM is opened next time, the password will be requested.
If
Show Charact
checkbox is selected, the input characters for the password will be displayed.
