5 ADVANCED SYNCHRONOUS CONTROL INITIAL POSITION
5.3 Cam Axis Position Restoration Method
• Search from a value in the middle of the cam axis position value per cycle. (Cam data starting point 0)
• The first search fails and a search begins for the second time.
If the first search fails, a second search may not be processed on the next cycle for a cam pattern with a feed
stroke that is smaller than 100% of the stroke as above.
The intended cam axis position value per cycle can be found in the first search, by setting or positioning the
cam reference position in advance.
