Modulo rotary axes
The switching edges of the cam signals are generated as a function of the rotary axis
traversing direction:
● The plus cam signal switches from 0 to 1 when the axis traverses the minus cam in a
● The minus cam signal changes level in response to every positive edge of the plus cam

Note
Position switching signals:
If the axis is positioned exactly on the cam (plus or minus), the defined output flickers. If
the axis moves one increment further, the output becomes a definite zero or one.
Flickering of the actual position causes the signals to flicker in this manner.
The actual position is evaluated.

Note
The described response of the plus cam applies on condition that:
plus cam - minus cam < 180 degrees
