Term Meaning
Cam output Cam output consists ON/OFF outputs for the Resolver angle according to
the ON/OFF angles set by the user (the cam program).
Cam program A cam program consists ON/OFF angle data set by the user.
Cam protect The cam data protect function protects the cam ON/OFF data from being
inadvertently changed or deleted.
Compensation operation When in RUN mode, this function can be used to adjust the cam output ON
and OFF angles by using the operation keys in order to check mechanical
operation.
Origin compensation When in SET mode, the mechanical origin and the Resolver origin can be
aligned by pressing the ADJ switch on the front of the Cam Positioner.
Origin shift When in RUN mode, this function can be used to temporarily shift the
displayed angle to the origin by shorting the TRIG terminal with the 0-V
terminal.
Origin value The origin value is a value set as the origin of the Resolver. This value can
be set to any angle when origin compensation or origin shift has been
performed. The default setting is 0.
Resolver The Resolver is a sensor that detects the absolute angle. One of four
Resolver models (3F88L-RS17, 3F88L-RS17T, 3F88L-RS15, and
3F88L-RS15W) can be selected for 3F88L-160 and 3F88L-162 Cam
Positioners.
Trial operation When in PRGM mode, this function can be used to adjust the cam output
ON and OFF angles by using the operation keys in order to check
mechanical operation.
The greatest difference from compensation operation is the ability to adjust
the ON and OFF angles of any bank or cam number without any external
control signal input during trial operation.
