You can rename this profile to a name more suitable to the application if desired. The
naming rules are:
•
Any alpha-numeric character or the underscore ( _ ) symbol may be used.
•
The first character in a profile name must be a letter.
•
A profile name cannot be more than 20 characters long.
•
A profile is referenced by name in a motion program. NOTE: Logic Developer is not
case-sensitive when referencing a profile name.
To rename the profile, right-click the profile name in the Navigator window and choose
Rename Profile from the short-cut menu. Type a name for the profile and press ENTER to
finish. The profile and any CAM profile links to it are renamed. For this example, the profile
is renamed to ExCamProfile. Refer to the on-line help for additional information.
Step 4: Link the CAM Profile to the CAM Block
Although there is more than one way to link a CAM profile to a CAM block, the easiest
method is to click the desired CAM profile in the Navigator, then drag it and drop it on the
applicable CAM block. The result is shown in the next figure.
Note:
Logic Developer limits the download block total size (Motion, Local Logic, and CAM combined) to
32K.
