Configuring cam tracks on SIMOTION D4xx onboard
Output cams and cam tracks can be configured for standard outputs, or as high-speed,
hardware-based output cams / cam tracks.
A cam track can be configured on SIMOTION D4xx onboard as follows:
1. In the project navigator, switch to the Control Unit via SINAMICS_Integrated > Control_Unit.
2. Double-click Inputs/outputs below the control unit. The window appears on the workspace.
3. Switch to the Bidirectional digital inputs/outputs tab.
4. Click the button to switch between the input and output for the digital inputs/outputs (DO8
to DO15). In each case, switch the DI/DO to the output you wish to use as the output of
output cam. The designation at the terminal strip of DI or DO switches to DO. Outputs of
the output cam can only be used if they have been defined as an output. DO 8 is configured
as an output in the diagram. For the output, select the DO (SIMOTION) setting.
Note
Mixed use of the SIMOTION D4xx DI/O as high-speed outputs (of output cams) and inputs
of measuring inputs is possible.
