Chapter 7 Motion Control Programming 7.9.3 Creating Electronic Cam Data Electronic cam data defines the relation between the positions of a master axis and the positions of a slave axis. Before you create a cam chart in ISPSoft, you have to know the relation between the positions of a master axis and the positions of a slave axis. position a slave axis. There are two methods of getting the relation between the positions of a master axis and the Method 1: Creating master/slave relation by setting E-CAM data Method 2:
Importing the recorded E-CAM data with master/slave relation to create the E-CAM curves After electronic cam data defines the relation between the master/slave positions, you can get the positions of the slave axis by means of the positions of the master axis. 7.9.3.1 Creating a CAM Chart in ISPSoft Creating master/slave relation by setting E-CAM data After you create a project in ISPSoft, right-click E-CAM Editor in the system information area, and click NEW , the New E-CAM-Chart window will appear. Set the parameters in the New E-CAM-Chart window, and then click OK , An E-CAM data item under E-CAM Editor will appear in the system information area.
The below steps are the procedures for setting up parameters for the new E-CAM chart. Type an E-CAM name in the Name box. Type an E-CAM ID in the Item ID box. E-CAM ID ranges from 1 to 32. If you want to set an E-CAM password, you have to type the same password in the two boxes. You can only type English letters, numerical digits.
