HOW TO USE THE
ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
4.6 Step Number Limit (F5)
The H8PS Cam Positioner has the capacity to make a 10-step program for each cam. It also has a
function to limit the number of programmable steps.
The step number limit function may be used in cases where, for example:
Making/changing cam programs is to be allowed, but addition of a program by operation errors must be
avoided.
This function provides two limiting methods: "collective setting for all cams," and "independent setting for
each cam".
Setting is accomplished using the F5 menu of the function setting mode.
