MCA_DigitalCamSwitch (FB)

FUNCTION_BLOCK MCA_DigitalCamSwitch

This function block implements Tappet functionality. The output pin is Switched on and Off based on TrackID, Axis Position and Configuration in the MCA_CamTappet array.

This Fb needs to be called in Motion task to get Correct results.

Users can either create MCA_CamTappet array manually or by using the CamEditor to configure tappets.

When using the CamEditor, MCA_CamTappet array is generated automatically based on the configuration and the array name follows the Cam object name with “_T”.

For example, Cam object’s name is “RotaryShear”, MCA_CamTappet array is generated as “RotaryShear_T. This can be directly passed to input pin name “Tappets” of function block MCA_DigitalCamSwitch

Note

User can utilize CAM editor in Automation builder to generate Tappet Table (MCA_CamTappet) automatically. AxisPosition in MCA_CamTappet should be always in ascending order.
