ASDA Series Application Note Introduction of E-Cam Operation

take a three-synchronous-axis printing machine for example. Pulses from the encoder are sent
to the three slave axes as the source signal to make identical curves. Phases of the three slave
axes have to be identical. When phases are inconsistent, users can use PR command to overlap
E-Cam command so as to have the phase shifted. To have a positive phase shift, a positive
incremental position command can be used. Please make sure the speed (in forward direction)
is higher than the speed specified by E-Cam command. On the other hand, to have a negative
phase shift, please set a PR with negative incremental position command.
