Structuring the cam processes
(Original Document)
About us
General
The cam process is done by a maximum of 128 cams divided between 32 tracks. The tracks are associated with the outputs of the module.
Processing is organized into 4 groups of 8 tracks, with groups 0 and 1 being associated with connector 0 on the module and groups 2 and 3 associated with connector 1.

Up to 32 cams can be assigned to one track, but in this case it is no longer possible to assign cams to the other tracks in the same group.
Tracks 4, 5, 6 and 7 of groups 1 and 3 are not linked to any physical output, and can be paralleled with tracks 0, 1, 2 and 3 of the same groups, or they can be used to control an output of a discrete module via the sequential program.
Example
In the example below, 3 cams have been assigned to track 2 of group 1, which is associated with connector 0. This track controls output Q1.2
