maintenance is necessary.
Others
The master axis needs space
and it consumes energy as
well.
Save the space and energy which
protects the environment.
The main feature of E-Cam is as the followings:
Features of E-Cam
Operation
Operate the E-cam in PR mode only.
Active the E-Cam
Function
P5-88.X
0: disable E-cam function and force to disengage (default).
1: enable E-cam function and starts to judge the engaged condition.

Motion Command
of the Servo Drive
The overlap motion command issued by PR and E-Cam
Command of the Servo Drive
=
E-Cam command
+
PR
command
The command will be issued only in Engaged status
PR command is effective regardless to the E-Cam status.
Except when E-cam is engaging and the source of master axis
is PR command, PR command is 0.
When E-Cam is operating, its position still can be adjusted by PR
command (incremental command in general).
Data Storage
Address of E-Cam
table
It is stored in Data array and the start address is set by P5-81.
Data Size of
E-Cam table
It is set by P5-82. 720 points is the maximum and 5 points is
the minimum.
Data Format of
E-Cam table
32-bit signed value.
Data Content of
E-Cam table
Save the position of slave axis (User unit, PUU)
The operation of
E-Cam position
The master axis operates by incremental command input.
The slave axis issues position command incrementally.
The start and the end of E-Cam curve profile could not always
be the same. It depends on the value of E-Cam table.
The command is interpolated by cubic curve. The torque on
each point will be smoothly connected because of quadratic
differential operation.
