HOW TO USE THE
BASIC FUNCTIONS
3.5 Setting the ON/OFF Angles
● The number of
programmable
steps
ON/OFF angles may be set with up to 10 steps for each cam.
With a 32-output model, however, the total number of programmable
steps is 160 for all cams and if an attempt is made to set ON/OFF
angles exceeding this limit, "ful" will appear, setting being disabled.
● Programming The two methods shown below are provided for setting ON/OFF
angles and any of these may be used.
1. Manual mode setting using the keys (Refer to "3.5.1 Setting the
ON/OFF Angles in the Manual Mode (Key Input)".)
In this method, the desired angle is set directly using the keys on
the front of the Cam Positioner.
This setting can be done without connecting an Encoder.
2. Teaching mode setting (Refer to "3.5.2 Setting the ON/OFF Angles
in the Teach Mode".)
In this method, the machine (Encoder) is actually turned and the
desired angle is set by teaching operation.
It is also possible to limit the number of programmable
steps for each cam. (Refer to "4.6 Step Number Limit
(F5)".)
Hint
For your convenience, use the coding sheet to write cam
programs. (Refer to "Appendix A Specifications (Rat-
ings)".)
