General remarks
The term “cam switch” describes assignment of a logical level to position or angle
information. The term comes from the trip cam, attached to a shaft, that actuated switch
contacts at certain positions. A similar function can be used in the case of an electronic
cam switch. See the following sketch:
Each cam disc has 4 cam switches, each of which can have several cams. The cams are
actuated dependent on the master position.
The cams can be inserted using the right mouse button and then made larger/smaller by
dragging with the mouse. Dragging to size 0 deletes a cam.
The start and end of
cams
can only be on grid data points. If there
are high requirements for the switching precision of cams, a large
number of grid data points must be specified. See section 4.9.3
Rasterisation of the curve.
