Field/button Explanation/instructions
Cyclic relative If you select the cyclic relative execution type, the cam will be repeated
starting at the end value of the slave axis. The first derivation of the cam
(velocity) in 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 relative, the master range in the horizontal and
vertical direction can be displayed repeatedly. You can optimize the
display via the parameters Cycle start (slave) and Cycle length (slave).
Cycle start (slave)(Cyclic relative
activated)
Under Cycle start (slave), enter the start point for the display in the
vertical direction.
Cycle length (slave)(Cyclic relative
activated)
Under Cycle length (slave), enter the length of the displayed range in the
vertical direction.
Interpolation
Specify the interpolation for the target device here.
You can set the following parameters:
Table 4-5 Parameters in the Interpolation tab (Target Device Parameters window)
Field/button Explanation/instructions
Interpolation type The curve in the master range can be made up of individual segments.
Gaps may occur between the curve segments. If the gaps are greater
than the maximum specified gap size, interpolation for the target device
is performed between the end points of the curve segments.
Under Interpolation type, specify the type of target device for which the
interpolation is to be performed between the gaps.
Linear If you select the interpolation type Linear, there is a smooth closure of
the gap through the insertion of a straight line segment between the
interpolation points.
Cubic splines If you select the interpolation type Cubic splines, there is a smooth
differentiable closure of the gap. The curve runs through the specified
interpolation points.
Bezier splines If you select the interpolation type Bezier splines, the approximation
curve runs along the specified interpolation points.
With gaps up to
Master
Leave gaps Gaps may occur between the curve segments of the master axis. Here
you can specify up to which size the gaps are maintained.
Merge points Gaps may occur between the curve segments of the master axis. Here
you can specify up to which size the gaps are closed by merging the end
points.
Slave
Leave gaps Gaps may occur between the curve segments of the slave axis. Here
you can specify up to which size the gaps are maintained.
Merge points Gaps may occur between the curve segments of the slave axis. Here
you can specify up to which size the gaps are closed by merging the end
points.
