Commands
Toolbar
The commands of the cam plate editor, which can be called up via the toolbar of the respective graphic window, can only be called up if the input mode for the graphic commands is enabled.
The commands only apply to the respective window.
Adaptation to extreme values
The window's co-ordinates are adjusted to the extreme values of the motion.
Measure distance
The horizontal and vertical distance to the current point from the point first clicked with the left mouse button is displayed at the top right hand corner of the window (please hold the mouse button down for this).
Current position
The absolute horizontal and vertical position of the point currently clicked with the left mouse button is displayed at the top right hand corner of the window (please hold the mouse button down for this).
Horizontal shift
This command can be used to move the selected point horizontally.
In the velocity window for synchronous functions: shift along a straight line in the position window.
The left-hand edge of the graphic area can be temporarily moved in this way, so that the scale can be more easily read.
Vertical shift
This command can be used to move the selected point vertically.
In the velocity window for synchronous functions: adjustment of the position in the position window to the velocity.
In the acceleration window for automatic function: adjustment of the acceleration.
Shift
This command can be used to move the selected point.
The following commands only apply in the graphic window for position:
Insert point
This command can be used to insert a point at the cursor position.
Synchronous function
The chosen section is passed through with a synchronous function.
Automatic function
An optimal function is automatically selected for the selected section,
including adjustment of the boundary values.
Delete point
The selected point is deleted, as is the corresponding section.
The following four items define specific boundary conditions for the points:
The point type is displayed in the table window before the point. This restriction can mean that the end value of a section does not agree with the initial value for the following section.
Rest point
The selected point is defined as a rest point (boundary condition: v=0, a=0).
Velocity point
The selected point is defined as a velocity point (boundary condition: a=0).
Turning point
The selected point is defined as a turning point (boundary condition v=0).
Motion point
The selected point is defined as a motion point (no boundary conditions).
Ignore point
The selected point is defined as an ignore point. When downloading to the NC as a Motion Function, it is transferred as IGNORE POINT. It is ignored in the display and during download as table point. This selection can be reset by setting one of the upper four point types.
Slide point
The starting position of the following section or the end position of the previous section is set at the cursor position, without changing the selected section.
The point can then be moved on to the section using horizontal shift.
Delete slide point
The slide point is deleted and the sections are joined together as they were previously.
Undo
The last change command of the slave is undone. This command can be used several times.
Redo
The last undo command is undone, and the data is restored accordingly. This command can be used several times.
