(1) Cam No.
This is the setting for the number of the created cam data.
The set cam No. specified in the sequence program is determined by the
machine name sequence registered on the mechanical system editing screen.
Machine Name Sequence Set Cam No.
1 1 to 64
2 101 to 164
3 201 to 264
4 301 to 364
(2) Resolution
(a) This setting determines the number of index divisions in one cam cycle.
(b) The time required to complete one cycle in which data for the maximum
number of points possible under the set resolution are reliably output is
calculated as follows:
Operation cycle × (set resolution)
(3) Stroke/cam No. change point
(a) This is the setting for the position at which the stroke/cam No. is switched
during operation.
(b) When the set switching position [range: 0 to (resolution −1)] is reached, a
switch is made to the set stroke and cam No., provided the stroke and
cam No. are normal.
