Behaviour of the slave axis at the modulo limit

The behavior of the slave at the modulo limit must be specially defined. By default, the slave will always move within its modulo limits, i.e. it maximally undergoes one revolution in the same direction. If an endlessly rotating slave is required, either "EndlessPositive" or "EndlessNegative" must be specified in the start mode of the FB MC_CamIn. The slave will then endlessly rotate beyond the modulo limit in the positive or negative direction of rotation. Cases for all three variants regarding the behavior of the slave axis at the modulo limit are shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4. The following cam table was used in all three examples:

Tablename = Smallest_Table # Table name
Table-ID = 404 # Table ID
