Issue
In high-speed motion control applications, using standard PLC logic to activate digital outputs based on an axis's position can introduce scan-time latency, resulting in delayed and inaccurate machine timing.
Resolution
Implement a CAM Switch configuration utilizing the Modicon M660 Motion Controller and the Edge IO NTS Motion Module in EcoStruxure Machine Expert Logic Builder. This configuration maps precise hardware-level position tracking to deterministic output modules.
