If you enable the online mode in EcoStruxure Machine Expert while the cam motion editor is active/visible, then the cam motion editor is also switched to online mode if a cam data structure is configured as target. If no target structure is configured, the online mode is not available and the originally configured diagram is displayed.
As long as the online mode is enabled and a cam data structure is defined as target, the values and graphs displayed in the tab represent the online values of the selected target structure.
You can select a segment, but you cannot modify anything:
You cannot modify the segment data.
You cannot specify a variable as target.
You cannot modify the axis-diagram allocation.
The cam motion editor supports the function.
After a cam data structure has been downloaded to the controller, the individual segments will be editable as soon as you have switched to offline mode.
When switching back to online mode, the modifications are detected and you will be prompted to decide whether you want to log in and perform the online change. If you confirm this message with , the cam data structure will be updated.
For the modifications to become effective, the FB_MultiCam / MC_Cam_ID function blocks must be switched to the adequate mode to take into account the modified cam data structure.
You can achieve this by setting the input parameter (for example, iq_xNewCam...) via the command. For further information, refer to the description of FB_MultiCam in the PD_PacDriveLib or FB_MultiCam / MC_Cam_ID in the CommonMotionType library guide.
