SmartPAC 2 with WPC 2000 Integration User Manual 1128600
Initialization Mode 4-15
SET GLOBAL CAMS (Optional)
(INITIALIZATION – SET GLOBAL CAMS)
This item, which appears on the Main Initialization Menu only when ProCamPAC is installed,
allows you to make settings for selected cam channels that apply to all tools programmed on
your SmartPAC 2. These cam channels are called “global” cams, and they are used to
program events that remain the same on all tools. Setting global cams saves programming the
same cam information for each tool and ensures that the cam always operates in the same way.
To program a global cam, do the following:
1. Select SET GLOBAL CAMS on the Main Initialization Menu. The Global Cams menu,
shown in Figure 4-10, page 4-16, displays. An asterisk (*) indicates the channels that are
already programmed as global cams.
PROGRAMMABLE CAM SWITCH NOT FOR SAFETY USE
Use SmartPAC 2’s programmable cam switch to control auxiliary functions only. The SmartPAC 2
programmable cam capability should never be used to provide timing signals for any safety use
including clutch/brake control or muting of light curtains.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
Set as global cams only cam channels that perform identically regardless of the tool installed.
You can use a “global” cam with the mechanical cam switch for Top Stop, if one has been installed,
to assist in adjusting top-stop and to use the Auto Advance feature to mimic Auto-compensated
Top Stop (ACTS). See Setting the ACTS Angle (Optional), page 4-33 and Switch 4 – Enabling
Auto Compensated Top Stop (ACTS), page 4-37.
CHANNELS 6, 7 AND 8 CANNOT BE USED FOR GLOBAL CAMS
You can set any channel as a global cam except channels 6, 7 and 8.
If you want to name the cam channel, do so before you program it as a global cam. Enter the cam
name as instructed in SELECT CAM NAMES (Optional), page 4-10.
