3.6.4 Response, effective direction
Response
The diagram below shows the ON and OFF switching characteristics of cams,
without hysteresis, derivative time or OFF delay:
The switching characteristics are determined only by the position (setpoint position
or actual position).
Effective direction
You can define an effective direction when you enable the cam. The cam is only
switched if the motion corresponds with the set effective direction.
Options available:
Effective direction Response
Positive The cam is switched only with positive direction of the motion.
Positive and
negative
The cam is switched independent of the motion direction.
Negative The cam is switched only with negative direction of the motion.
Current sense of
rotation
With this setting, the cam switches only in the currently set direction
of rotation. Standstill is a positive direction of rotation.
