Commands
The Output Cam technology object can be addressed in the user program using the following
commands:

Output Cam TO system functions
Commands
Description
Application
_enableOutputCam
Activate output cam
Output cam analysis is activated. If the
switching condition for the output cam is
fulfilled, the output or state system
variable is set.
_disableOutputCam
Deactivate output cam
Output cam analysis is deactivated. If
the switching condition for the output
cam is fulfilled, the output or state
system variable is not set. Controlled
output cams are reset immediately.
_enableOutputCamSimulation
Activate simulation mode. This function
simulates an output cam by
disconnecting the output.
Values are calculated, but not
forwarded to the hardware. Hardware
output cams act as software cams. The
output cam remains internally active,
the status is retained, the output of
output cam is not switched. If an active
output cam is switched to simulation
mode, the output cam status remains
the same, and only the control of the
output is reset or interrupted.
_disableOutputCamSimulation
The output cam is reset from simulation
mode.
The output of output cam is switched
according to the output cam status and
the signal inversion.
_setOutputCamState
Deactivate the output cam function and
set the output cam status to the
specified value.
This is used if the output should not be
controlled by the output cam TO.
Example:
A glue nozzle is controlled by the output
cam TO (applying glue dots). As a
service function, it should also be
possible to rinse the nozzle while
constantly controlling it. This is achieved
via _setOutputCamState.
_resetOutputCamError
Reset error on output cam TO.
E.g. acknowledge configuration errors
after entering correct values.
_setOutputCamCounter
Change starting count for a counter cam. Output cam is output on every nth
switching operation.
_resetOutputCam
This function sets the output cam to an
initial state. Pending errors are deleted.
Modified configuration data is reset on
request.
Create initial state of output cam TO.
_resetOutputCamConfigDataBuffer
This function deletes the configuration
data collected in the buffer since the last
activation without activating it.
Changing configuration data in the RUN
state discards the accumulated
modifications.
