4.9.3. ECAM Profiles
A profile defines the relationship between the motion of the master
and the motion of the slave. The profile dictates the required slave
position for a given master position. The graph below illustrates a
typical profile.
Figure 33: Example of an ECAM Profile
A profile consists of a number of segments. For example, the profile
shown consists of four segments: the first stretches from Master
Position 0 to 100, the second from 100 to 200 and so on. You need
only specify the start and end points of each segment; FlexWorks
interpolates between those points according to shape specified.
FlexWorks can interpolate along straight lines and sinusoidal
curves. You define the resolution (the distance between consecutive
data points in the profile) with which the curve must be generated.
The profile created should be smooth to ensure smooth motion.
4.9.3.1. Time based Profiles – Virtual Axis
FlexWorks also allows you to specify a time-based profile, where
the FSP Amplifier’s internal clock generates the master pulses. A
pulse is generated every 125 μs. In this case, the Master Position
axis is, in fact, a time axis.
