580 Status Variables
Position Lock Cam Status
PCAM_status is a logical (Boolean) variable which has values of:
• 1 (true) if a position-lock cam has been initiated and is active for the
axis
• 0 (false) if not
In the Tag Explorer, select both Axis System Variables and the desired
physical or imaginary axis, then select PCAM_status in the Tag Window.
Position-lock cams are initiated using a Position Lock Cam block, and
stopped using a Disable Position Lock CAM or Stop Motion block,
depending on the selected mode.
When PCAM_status = 1, Axis_status
≤
5 if no faults are active on the
axis.
Position Lock Cam Profiling Status
PCAM_profile_status is a logical (Boolean) variable which has values of:
• 1 (true) if a position-lock cam has been initiated for the axis and the
specified master axis is within the range defined by the master cam
table
• 0 (false) if not
In the Tag Explorer, select both Axis System Variables and the desired
physical or imaginary axis, then select PCAM_profile_status in the Tag
Window.
Position-lock cams are initiated by a Position Lock Cam block and
stopped by a Disable PCAM or Stop Motion block, depending on the
selected mode.
When PCAM_profile_status = 1, PCAM_status = 1, and Axis_status
≤
5
if no faults are active on the axis.
