text: <s>[INST] MATC vs MAPC Summary: What is the main difference?I have an applications where cutting blade has to match speed of a material for certain time, then let material move certain distance and cut again... I tried to use MATC and it works, the complexity is that if I change material cut distance (requirement), speed does not adjust, it just scales up or down. I am trying to figure out how MATC is used, can someone explain in simple words how this instruction works and how do you relate position to the master? Thanks! [/INST] Can we assume the master encoder runs on the material? I would think an MAPC (position cam) is a better choice. You would use MCCP in conjunction with MAPC in order to define the region at which the blade runs at web speed, and then can be faster as needed to recover. I wouldn't touch a time cam at all for the exact reason you've encountered. \\n </s>
