In the table above “table” and “element” are expressions.
The time based index is defined as a cam component. Time based index allows easy entry to dynamically define either the distance at a fixed
time or dynamically define time at a fixed distance or dynamically alter both distance and time.
Resume Follower Position
Cam.ResumeFollowerPosn
This will be the initial Follower Position the cam will be set to on execution of the Cam.Resume command. This value is valid only after
Cam.Suspend, SetCamMasterOffset(MasterPosn), or SetCamFollowerOffset(FollowerPosn) commands.
Resume Master Position
Cam.ResumeMasterPosn
For cam tables running in synchronized mode, this will be the initial Master Position the cam will be set to on execution of the Cam.Resume
command. This value is valid only after Cam.Suspend, SetCamMasterOffset(MasterPosn), or SetCamFollowerOffset(FollowerPosn)
commands.
Resume Master Time
Cam.ResumeMasterTime
For cam tables running in real time mode, This will be the initial Master Time the cam will be set to on execution of the Cam.Resume
command. This value is valid only after Cam.Suspend, SetCamMasterOffset(MasterPosn), or SetCamFollowerOffset(FollowerPosn)
commands.
Stop
Cam.Stop
When Cam.Stop is activated the cam will stop using the Cam.Decel ramp rate (if Cam.DecelEnable is enabled).
Stop Decel
Cam.StopDecel
This parameter is the deceleration rate of the cam after a Cam.Suspend or Cam.Stop command is initiated. A value of zero disables the stop
decel ramp as well as clearing the Stop Decel Enable check box.
Suspend
Cam.Suspend
When Cam.Suspend is activated the current cam will stop using the Cam.Decel ramp rate (if Cam.DecelEnable is enabled). The cam will
accept a Cam.Resume after a suspend. The suspend records the master and follower positions at the point of the suspend for future
Cam.Resume execution.
Max Accel
Cam.#.Accel
This parameter is the maximum acceleration for the Time Base Index cam type. The time base index will not accelerate faster than this value.
Backward Chain
Cam.#.BackwardChain
This parameter holds the next cam table to initiate if this cam table completes in reverse (master axis is moving from larger to smaller position
values). This is only available in bidirectional mode. The next cam table will be initiated at the end (which is really the starting point) of the
current table. If no cam is to be initiated, this value should be set to –1 (minus one) to stop at the end of the cam table execution.
Cam Table Complete
Cam.#.CamTableComplete
This parameter is active when the specified cam table motion command is completed, if a stop is activated before the cam has completed this
parameter will not be activated. Inactivated when the specified cam command is executed.
