NOTE
Aim for an integral ratio of 4-fold encoder resolution and CAM resolution.
Thus, best practice is to first set the minimum resolution required for programming (CAM
resolution).
This is equivalent to the minimum number of ticks per revolution.
Divide this number by 4 and you will get the required encoder resolution.
NOTE
Absolute EtherCAT encoder
If you are using an Absolute EtherCAT encoder, changing the module resolution will just affect
the view of the CAM Creator's CAM array.
To set the CAM module to actually process every xth value, you must run CODESYS and divide
its encoder setting by x.
In the example below, you would have to divide by 16:
CAM per Track
Number of cams per track.
Track per Program
Number of tracks per cam program.
Programs
Number of cam programs.
