Introduction
Cam Loader applications
4.1.2 Control without user interface (batch mode)
It is also possible to start the Cam Loader without user interface (batch mode).
[ In this case, a script file is used for control. The script file can be created by the user him-
self using a traditional text editor or automatically generated for a project by the Cam
Loader.
[ Through this functionality, it is possible to use the Cam Loader on an IPC without user
interface which is, in turn, operated via an HMI. For this purpose, the IPC must, of
course, meet the system requirements of the Cam Loader.
Basic proceeding:
1. The mechanical/automation engineer prepares the IPC for the user:
– He installs the Cam Loader on the IPC 0.
– He creates a Cam Loader project and thus the axes subdirectories for existing and fu-
ture product data 1.
– He uses the Cam Loader to create the script file 2 for Cam Loader control without
user interface.
2. The mechanical/automation engineer delivers the prepared system to the user.
3. The user uses the directories prepared by the mechanical/automation engineer as a ba-
sis to produce new or modified products on the machine:
– He enters new/changed product data 1 manually into the corresponding axes sub-
directories, e.g. via remote maintenance.
– If necessary, he extends the script file 2 prepared by the mechanical/automation en-
gineer.
4. The user changes the product or transfers changed product data, e.g. via an HMI con-
nected to the IPC:
– The HMI is used to start the Cam Loader in batch mode which creates the LCx file in
accordance with the script file data and transfers it to the target system 3.
– The data is transmitted online. In this way, the target system need not always be re-
started.
5. The user can repeat steps 3 and 4 as often as required, e.g. to optimise the production
process.
