MLProfileInit

 Function - Initializes a previously created CAM Profile object for use in a PLC Program or Pipe Network CAM block.

Inputs

Input	Data Type	Range	Unit	Default	Description
ProfileID	DINT	-2147483648 to 2147483647	N/A	No default	ID number of a created CAM Profile.
FileName	STRING	No range	N/A	No default	Filename used to save Profile on the computer's hard disk.
InputScale	LREAL	Positive	N/A	No default	The input amplitude or X-axis multiplier applied to the CAM Profile.
OutputScale	LREAL	No range	N/A	No default	The output amplitude or Y-axis multiplier applied to the CAM Profile.
InputOffset	LREAL	No range	N/A	No default	The input offset or X-axis shift applied to the CAM Profile.
OutputOffset	LREAL	No range	N/A	No default	The output offset or Y-axis shift applied to the CAM Profile.

Outputs

Output	Data Type	Range	Unit	Description
Default (.Q)	BOOL	FALSE, TRUE	N/A	Returns TRUE if a new CAM Profile is initialized. See Function - General Rules.

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.
