Inputs

Output	Data Type	Range	Unit	Description
OK	BOOL	No range	N/A	Indicates the profile has been created. See Function - General Rules.
ID	DINT	No range	N/A	Returns the ID number of the created CAM Profile. If MLProfileCreate(...) fails, the ID is zero (NULL). A CAM ProfileID = 0 (zero) is not valid for cam profile functions.

Remarks

This function block is automatically called if a Profile is created in the Project Explorer with user-defined settings entered in the CAM Profile Properties screen.

• Profiles are created and initiated separately.
• The shape is modified with the CAM Editor.
  • With the Editor, profiles can be changed graphically or by manually changing values in a numeric table relating input and output values with specific slopes.
  • The Cam Editor software tool provides the capability to visualize, analyze, edit, and smooth profiles.
• Profile switching can be done on the fly without losing synchronization and without dead time.
  • Offsets and ratios of CAM Profiles can be changed on the fly.

• 
  

• Profile objects are normally created in the Project Explorer.
  You do not have to add MLCamInit function blocks to their programs.
  Right click the Profiles folder under PLC->Motion and click Add to create a new profile.
  Parameters are entered directly in a window and the code is automatically added to the current project.

• 
  

• This function should be called after MLMotionInit is called and before MLMotionStart is called.
