MC_CamOut

Description

This function block:

aborts the active MC_CamIn move
disengages the axis from its master
and commands the axis to continue at its current velocity

The current velocity is calculated by taking the average of the actual velocity during the previous 16 cycles.

Like a MC_MoveVelocity move, the control continues to command the axis to move at this velocity until this MC_CamOut move is aborted. If this function block is called and the active move is not a MC_CamIn move, this function block returns an error and the active move is not aborted.

As an alternative method to cancel the cam motion, a single axis move (MC_MoveAbsolute, MC_MoveRelative, MC_MoveAdditive, MC_MoveVelocity, and MC_Halt) with the buffermode input set to 0 can be called. This will cancel the MC_CamIn function and start the new motion function on the slave axis. Many applications prefer calling MC_Halt instead of MC_CamOut because it will not send a velocity command to the slave axis.

This function block starts a motion-related action and therefore stores data for calculations and error checking. Please see Calling Function Blocks Multiple Times in the Same Cycle if you are using a dual-core controller.

Usage

This function block disengages the slave axis from a MC_CamIn move and then leaves the axis running at its current velocity. The axis continues to run at this velocity until this move is aborted.
