Configuring cams on SIMOTION C240
1. Insert a new output cam or a new cam track or use an existing one.
2. Parameterize the TO Output Cam / Cam Track
3. Double-click Configuration below the output cam or the cam track in the project navigator.
The Configuration window appears in the working area.
4. For high-speed, hardware-supported output cams, you can achieve an output accuracy
exceeding the servo cycle clock based on the hardware used. If you would like to configure
a high-speed output cam, select the Activate output check box and select the High-speed
digital output (DO) radio button
5. Assignment of an output to an output cam/cam track is supported as of V4.2 either by
symbolic assignment (see Chapter Symbolic Assignment (as of V4.2) in the SIMOTION
Runtime Basic Functions manual) or by entering the hardware address. During a
consistency check in SIMOTION SCOUT, no check is made as to whether the entered HW
address actually belongs to a high-speed digital output (DO).
6. Click OK to close the window and select Project > Save from the menu.
3.3.12
HW enable for Output Cam TO
You can make the output of output cams dependent on a hardware-supported enable (only
for TM17 High Feature).
Because hardware enables are mainly used for output cam tracks, this function is described
under Cam Track TO (Page 118).
