ASDA-A2  Chapter 7 Motion Control 
7-28     Revision February, 2017 
The main feature of E-Cam is as the followings: 
Features of E-Cam  
Operation  Operate the E-cam in PR mode only. 
Active the E-Cam Function 
P5-88.X 
0: disable E-cam function and force to disengage (default). 
1: enable E-cam function and starts to judge the engaged condition. 
E-Cam Status  Stop / Pre-engage / Engage 
Source of Master Axis 
  Auxiliary encoder (linear scale) 
  Pulse command 
  CAP axis (defined by CAP function) 
  PR command  
  Time axis 
  Synchronous capture axis 
Motion Command of the 
Servo Drive 
The overlap motion command issued by PR and E-Cam 
Command of the Servo Drive   =   E-Cam command  + PR 
command 
  The command will be issued only in Engaged status 
  PR command is effective regardless to the E-Cam status. 
Except when E-cam is engaging and the source of master axis 
is PR command, PR command is 0. 
When E-Cam is operating, its position still can be adjusted by PR 
command (incremental command in general). 
Data Storage Address of 
E-Cam table 
  It is stored in Data array and the start address is set by P5-81. 
Data Size of E-Cam table 
  It is set by P5-82. 720 points is the maximum and 5 points is 
the minimum. 
Data Format of E-Cam 
table 
  32-bit signed value. 
Data Content of E-Cam 
table 
  Save the position of slave axis (User unit, PUU) 
The operation of E-Cam 
position 
  The master axis operates by incremental command input. 
  The slave axis issues position command incrementally. 
  The start and the end of E-Cam curve profile could not always 
be the same. It depends on the value of E-Cam table.  
  The command is interpolated by cubic curve. The torque on 
each point will be smoothly connected because of quadratic 
differential operation.
