CAM_EXTENDED Structure

The CAM_EXTENDED data type consists of slave and master point pairs, as well as an interpolation type. Because there is no association with a specific axis position or time, the point values are unitless. You can specify the interpolation type for each segment as either linear or cubic. CAM_EXTENDED is supported by
Compact GuardLogix
5580,
CompactLogix
5380, and
CompactLogix
5480 controllers only.
This table describes the format of the cam array element:
