4.1.1 Control with user interface (GUI mode)
Control with user interface is required if a new project shall be created or prepared by the
mechanical/automation engineer for the user.
Basic proceeding:
1. Use the user interface of the Cam Loader
0 and create a new Cam Loader project. The
axes subdirectories for existing and future product data (motion profiles, cam tracks
and position markers) are created automatically.
2. The Cam Loader assigns the product data
1, which has e.g. been created by means of a
CAD system and is available as tables of points according to VDI directive VDI 2143, to
the corresponding axes/products.
3. Use the Cam Loader to create the LCx files for the target systems.
– The LCx files can be directly transferred from the Cam Loader to the corresponding
target systems
2.
– It is also possible to store the LCx files in other control devices (e.g. a PLC or an IPC)
for subsequent downloads
3.
4. As an option, the Cam Loader can automatically create a script file for the Cam Loader
project which can be used to start the Cam Loader without user interface, e.g. on an
IPC

Use of LCx files:
• LC9 for Servo PLC and ECSEA...
• LC7 for servo cam 9300EK
