Switching response
The switching response of position-based cams is determined by the ON and OFF
positions. An additional effective direction may be defined.
Switching action
based on
The position-based cam is
active
The position-based cam is
inactive
ON position, OFF
position
• when the cam is enable with
MC_CamSwitch
• when the position lies within
the ON range
• when the position value is
shifted to the ON range of
the cam
• when the position is out of range
of the ON or OFF position
• when the position value is shifted
out of the ON range *
Force direction • when the position lies within
the ON range and the
effective direction
corresponds with the motion
direction
• when the position is out of range
of the ON or OFF position
• when the motion direction is not
the same as the set effective
direction.
• when the position value is shifted
out of the ON range *
Hysteresis when the cam moves out of the
hysteresis range
* The position value of the interconnected object may change rapidly when the
object is homed or its coordinate system is shifted.
Inverted output
This function inverts the active and inactive signals of the cam output.
