How to define switch points Use switch points to trigger events depending on the master position. For example, this can be the setting of an output or the calling of a function block. These instructio
Function Blocks: MC_CamTableSelect and MC_CamIn MC_CamTableSelect.MasterAbsolute If the input MasterAbsolute = TRUE , then the cam is started at the current master position. This point may be at any p

Periodic Cams A cam can be run repeatedly when the Periodic input of the MC_CamTableSelect function block is set to TRUE . Then the cam is restarted automatically after reaching the end position. If t
Commanding Multiple Movements :
Overview BufferMode Some function blocks have a BufferMode input which is used to control the chronological order of movements. The buffer mode defines whether the function block works in non-buffered
Behavior in the Case of Buffered Movements When a buffered movement is commanded after MC_MoveAbsolute or MC_MoveRelative , the buffered movement is active in the same cycle where the previous movemen
Behavior in the Case of Blending A basic property of the blending behavior of CODESYS SoftMotion is that the axis moves along the same positions during blending as during a buffered movement. The only
