	Question	Posted Date
	How are cam tables organized? Posted Date: 05/21/2001 Answer: The first point in the cam table is the number of master/follower pairs in the table. The subsequent points are the master and follower data points. If any master position is not found in the data table, the value will be interpolated from the nearest points. This interpolation is linear, so any "curved" sections of the cam table are actually made up from several small "straight-line" segments. The attached document, CamTable.pdf, will explain this function further.

	How about the Analog Input Connector Cable? Posted Date: 07/27/2007 Answer: There is no need for this option, since the V1000 can accept two different analog inputs.

	Hbb fault occurs with the H1,H2 and HC jumpered, what else could the issue be? Posted Date: 08/28/2012 Answer: A Hbb fault can be caused by improper use of the drives (S1-S8)digital inputs. If a customer is using the drives internal power supply and uses SC as the ground, this will cause a Hbb fault. Please use SN when using the drives internal voltage in sinking mode. (See attached.) As a note, the drive can utilize the 2 separate sources of power for the safety digital inputs and the (S1-S8) drive, but does not pertain to the Hbb alarm we discuss here.

	Given a Sigma Mini SGMM-A1C312, What does the "C" stand for and what cables are used on this motor? Posted Date: 08/19/2004 Answer: SGMM-A1C312 is a non-CE rated version of the Sigma Mini motor. This motor is designated with a "C" right after the "A1" or "A2" in the part number (the CE rated motor has an "S" in this slot). The encoder connector that comes off of the motor is different from the standard connector. The cable that will mate up with the amplifier is part number JZSP-CFP00-01(A).

	For Compass, can you provide an easy way to manage laser output power in relationship to the path speed? Posted Date: 05/19/2020 Answer: The MPiec Toolbox side of the Compass solution has provision to synchronize a digital or analog output with the TCP path. Something like a series of G1 X5 Y5 G444 V123.5 can be used where the G444 is a custom code to set a laser output along this path segment and the laser intensity value is specified by parameter V.
