Inputs

Input	Data Type	Range	Unit	Default	Description
BlockID	DINT	1 to 1024	N/A	No default	ID number of an initialized CAM Pipe Block.
ProfileID	DINT	-2147483648 to 2147483647	N/A	No default	Name of the new CAM Profile which is assigned to the CAM Pipe Block. It must be a declared profile object.

Output	Data Type	Range	Unit	Description
Default (.Q)	BOOL			Returns TRUE if the CAM Profile is changed. See Pipe Network - General Rules.

Remarks

• Can be used in combination with a comparator to verify profiles are switched at a time where the input and output values of both the old and new profiles are equal.
  • This is so an Axis receives continuous position values and does not jump.
• These profiles are created and initiated separately and the shape is created 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 is used to visualize, analyze, edit, and smooth profiles.
• See CAM Profile Switching for more information.
