Automatic Operation (Synchronous Control)
9-34
Confirmation of cam table
Confirm the set cam table (cam curve). In the synchronous control, slave axes operate
following the cam curve. Therefore, a motor may not be able to follow the output if the change
in the cam curve is rapid. For the change in the cam curve, not only the information on
displacement but also the information such as acceleration information is important. In the
cam table setting screen, the following information except displacement can be displayed.
Displacement This is set in the cam table.
Speed
The operation speed of the cam table with a set displacement amount is displayed by relative
values.
Acceleration
Accelerations at each phase are displayed.
Care is necessary in the area where acceleration largely changes as a rapid change in the
speed occurs.
Jerk
It is obtained by differentiating acceleration by a time. It indicates a rate of change of
acceleration.
Each display item can be set by checking the following check boxes in the cam table setting
screen. Refer to each display items, and change the cam table settings.
