<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi, i'm developing an application which requires alternating different cams of variable period.<br/> Master axis is virtual and slave axis is physical of modulo 360°. Each cam executes exactly one rotation of the slave axis, which however can be standstill for a part of the cam profile.</p> <p>Slave axis is always at constant speed when changing to the next cam.</p> <p>I tried to set master axis as linear, and manually MC_Setposition to 0.0 at each cam EndOfProfile. This however generates a step in the slave position.</p> <p>What would be the best way to handle this situation? I tried to look for an example but couldnt find anything.<br/> Thanks!</p></div>
