Notice
If you specify a scaling, you can show and hide the scaled curve via the menu
Cam > Representation parameters > Display scaling.
If the scaled curve is displayed, you cannot edit the original curve in the diagram
displays.
4.9.2 Target device parameters
coordinates
Specify the coordinates for the target device here.
You can set the following parameters:
Table 4-4 Parameters in the Coordinates tab (Target Device Parameters window)
Field/button Explanation/instructions
Master Range You specify the master range (definition range) of the curve via start and
end points. Cam segments must lie within this master range (see also
Master range under S Diagram (Master) properties).
Start Enter the start point of the curve, or the start of the master range of the
curve here.
End Enter the end point of the curve, or the end of the master range of the
curve here.
Execution type The Execution type specifies the interpolation of the cam by the target
device at the boundary points of the master range.
Non-cyclic If you select the Non-cyclic execution type. The cam cycle ends when
the end value of the curve is reached. The function values of the cam
(slave position) at the start and end point of the master range are
normally different.
Note:
If you activate Non-cyclic, the master range in the horizontal direction is
displayed once.
Cyclic absolute If you select the cyclic absolute execution type, a return is made from the
end value of the slave axis to the start point of the slave axis and the
cam is repeated. The function values of the cam (slave position) at the
start and end point of the master range are identical. Possibly an
identical value (average value) is forced from the target device.
Note:
If you activate Cyclic absolute, the master range in the horizontal
direction can be displayed repeatedly.
