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.
-
-
Loading a Profile Editor-generated profile into a ProfileID released by MLProfileRelease should be done with care.
The MLProfileInit () function call can take in excess of 4 milliseconds to execute.
Application execution is suspended during this time until the function call is completed.
