6. APPLICATION OF FUNCTIONS 
6 -  9 
 
Two writing methods are available. 
 
Writing method  Description 
Data transmission method (Note) 
MR Configurator2 
Modbus RTU 
communication 
Temporary writing 
Write the cam control data and the cam data to the RAM of the 
servo amplifier. After writing, the cam control data and the cam data 
will be reflected. 
The written data will be disabled if the power is turned off. 
Use this when creating and adjusting the cam control data and the 
cam data. 
   
Writing 
Write the cam control data and the cam data to the Flash-ROM. The 
data will be enabled when the power is cycled after writing 
After cycling the power, control is performed based on the written 
data. 
Conduct this after the cam control data and the cam data are 
finalized. 
   
 
Note.  : Supported,  : Unsupported 
 
(2) Cam data 
 
POINT 
 
If the cam data is set incorrectly, the position command and speed command 
may increase and may cause machine interference or [AL. 31 Overspeed]. 
When you have created and changed cam data, make sure to perform test 
operations and make appropriate adjustments. 
 
The following two types are available for the cam data. 
 
Cam data type  Description 
Stroke ratio data type 
Cam curve of one cycle is divided equally by the number of cam resolution and defined. 
The cam curve will be created according to the stroke ratio data of the number of cam resolution. 
Coordinate data type 
Data in which cam curve of one cycle is defined with two or more points. The coordinate data is 
defined as (input value, output value). The input value will be the cam axis one cycle current value, 
and the output value will be the stroke value from the cam standard position. 
 
(a)  Stroke ratio data type 
The following are set in the stroke ratio data type. Set the following items on the cam setting window 
of MR Configurator2. When "Cam No." is set to "0", straight-line control is performed so that the 
stroke ratio at the last point of the cam data becomes 100%. 
 
Setting item  Setting  Setting range 
Cam No. 
Set a Cam No.  0: Linear cam 
1 to 8: User-created cam 
Setting method  Set "1: Stroke ratio data type".   
Cam resolution 
Set the number of divisions for the cam curve of one cycle.  Select from 
256/512/1024/2048. 
Cam data start position 
Set the positions of the cam data and cam control data to the position of 
when "Cam axis one cycle current value" is "0". 
0 to "Cam resolution - 1" 
Stroke ratio data  Set the stroke ratio from the first to the last point.  -100.000 to 100.000
