7.4 Map Settings
The map settings dialogue is presented when the menu option "Edit" -> "Map Settings"
is chosen.
The dialogue consists of four property pages:
7.4.1 Property Page „Map“
Map Name: Each map has its unique name on the controller. The name consists of an alphanumeric
expression with a maximum of 20 characters. This identifier will be used for the map table
when it is downloaded into the controller.
Number of
Steps: When a map shape is turned into a map table the Motion Generator needs to know what
resolution you require. The more map steps the greater the resolution of the map table, but
also the larger the memory space for saving the table in the Flash EPROM. The maximum
number of steps is 65536.
Cycle Length
(Master):
The master length is the length of the map shape along the master axis (horizontal) in position
units. If this value is changed the whole map is scaled and all the master and slave positions
are affected. The length of the master axis and the machine’s cycle speed are used to calculate
the curves.
