Motion Control Applications
You can also export the data points to text files by selecting ‘Export Points’. The
KNX5100C software provides a Batch Values Change feature, which includes
functions of increment, decrement, add, subtract, multiply, divide, copy and
exchange for you to quickly adjust the E-Cam curve. You can also right-click to
insert and delete single-position positions.

Speed Fitting
If the application requires the same or associated motion speed of the master and
slave axes, then use the Speed Fitting creation method to create the E-Cam table.
This method divides an E-Cam cycle into five zones: waiting zone, acceleration
zone, constant speed zone, deceleration zone, and stop zone, as shown in
Figure 180 . The proportion of each zone can be adjusted. The E-Cam curve is
designed from the position point of view. The corresponding speed to the master-
slave axis is determined by the position change per time unit. The KNX5100C E-
Cam table creation by using the speed fitting method is shown in Figure 181 .
1.
To plan the E-Cam curve, determine the proportion of waiting zone,
acceleration zone, constant speed zone, deceleration zone, and stop zone in
one cycle according to the required distribution.
2.
Set the motion distance.
The total travel distance of the slave axis in one cycle, the unit is PUU.
3.
Set the smoothness of the position curve at the turning point.
