5. Enter the calculated actuation times as activationtime for the start of output cam and as
deactivationtime for the end of output cam. Note that the actuation time must be entered
as a negative when the output time is to be before the programmed output cam switching
time.
6. After you have determined the activation time and the deactivation time for the output of
output cam, you should perform a control measurement and check the result.
Note
Depending on the application, it may be, e.g. with eccentric presses, that there is no linear
relationship between dead time and velocity (e.g. non-linear response of an applied
brake). You have to dynamically adapt the dead time to the respective velocity for these
applications. This can be implemented in the application with a user program. After the
actuation time has been changed, you have to activate the output cam again with
_enableOutputCam or the cam track with _enableCamTrack.

Configuring cams on SIMOTION D4xx onboard
Output cams and cam tracks can be configured for standard outputs, or as high-speed,
hardware-based output cams / cam tracks.
Cams can be configured on SIMOTION D4xx onboard as follows:
1. In the project navigator, switch to the Control Unit via SINAMICS_Integrated > Control_Unit.
2. Double-click Inputs/outputs below the control unit. The window appears on the workspace.
3. Switch to the Bidirectional digital inputs/outputs tab.
