Y_CA_CamAnalyzer

Image

The Cam_Analyzer function block provides the slave's maximum velocity, acceleration, deceleration and jerk values for a specific cam profile based on a maximum expected master velocity.

Parameters

* Parameter Data Type Description Default
VAR_IN_OUT
B CamTable Yt_MS_CamStruct This structure contains the resulting master/slave information for each data point and can be downloaded to the motion engine using Y_CamStructSelect.
VAR_INPUT
B Execute BOOL Upon the rising edge, all other function block inputs are read and the function is initiated. To modify an input, change the value and re-trigger the execute input. FALSE
B MasterVelocity LREAL Master axis maximum velocity (in master user units/sec.) LREAL#0.0
VAR_OUTPUT
B Done BOOL Set high when the commanded action has completed successfully. If another block takes control before the action is completed, the Done output will not be set. This output is reset when Execute goes low.
B Busy BOOL Set high upon the rising edge of the Execute input, and reset when Done, CommandAborted, or Error is true. In the case of a function block with an Enable input, a Busy output indicates the function is operating, but not ready to provide Valid information. (No Error)
B Error BOOL Set high if an error has occurred during the execution of the function block. This output is cleared when 'Execute' or 'Enable' goes low.
B ErrorID UINT If Error is true, this output provides the Error ID. This output is reset when 'Execute' or 'Enable' goes low
V MaximumVelocity LREAL Peak slave velocity for the given cam profile at the maximum master velocity
V MaximumAcceleration LREAL Peak slave acceleration for the given cam profile at the maximum master velocity
V MaximumJerk LREAL Peak slave jerk for the given cam profile at the maximum master velocity


Error Description

Refer to the Function Block ErrorID List .


Example

Consider a linear flying shear application. The maximum slave velocity of the profile is in the speed matching region. The master maximum velocity was given as 24 units/sec and the maximum velocity output of the CamAnalyzer is 24.
