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:
Mnemonic | Data Type | Description |
MASTER | LREAL | The x value of the point. |
SLAVE | LREAL | The y value of the point. |
Segment Type | DINT | The type of interpolation 0 = linear 1 = cubic |
TIP:
You cannot convert the CAM data type to CAM_EXTENDED, and you cannot convert the CAM_EXTENDED data type to CAM.
