GFK-1918D CIMPLICITY Logic Developer - PLC Version 4.00 101
Working with the CAM Editor
You can adjust the curves of your CAM profile to suit the specific needs of your
project. With the CAM editor you create profiles by defining points on a
master/slave position curve. Groups of adjoining points are allocated to sectors.
Each sector is assigned a polynomial curve fit order (1,2,3) that specifies how the
curve will be interpolated between points.

A new CAM profile with a default name is added to your project.
