Chapter 7 Motion Control ASDA-M
7-36 Revision December, 2014
Gear #1, the description is as follows:
Function Set the relativity of master axis and E-cam axis.
e.g. The master axis operates one cycle, the E-cam axis
is no need to operates one cycle.
Description E-cam axis is a virtual axis.
The E-cam axis operates one cycle (360 degrees) means
the cam operates one cycle and the slave axis operates
one cycle.
The pulse number is the unit of moving distance of the
master axis. Its resolution is determined by the source.
Setting Method
P5-83: M
P5-84: P
If the pulse number of master axis is P, the E-cam axis
operates M cycle.
Then, the setting of gear ratio is P5-83=M, P5-84=P
Cam, the description is as follows:
Function Set the relation between E-cam axis and slave axis and
define it in the E-cam table.
E-cam axis operates one cycle and the slave axis
operates one cycle.
Data Storage
Address of
E-Cam table
Data array, the start address is set by P5-81
Data Format 32-bit (It has positive and negative, user unit: PUU)
E-Cam Curve
Scaling
P5-19
0 ~ +/- 32.700
It is used to magnify (minify) the E-cam shape.
It equals to the value of data multiplies P5-19.
Switch the symbol,+/- will change the operation
direction of slave axis.
If P5-19 is set to0, the E-cam command will not be output
(the setting will be 0 for good).
Data Size It is divided into N parts via P5-82 (>=5) and does not
exceed the limit of data array. It means 360 degrees a
cycle of E-cam are divided into N areas. Each area is
(360/N) degrees.
Data Content
The position data of slave axis is saved in E-cam table.
(User unit: PUU).
If E-cam is divided into N areas, the position of each area
must be included in the table. It must set N+1 points in
