Hi,
I am working with motion control with logix5000, and currently facing an issue and hope to get solution.

I want to generate linear lookup table using cam profile (time vs speed) or (position vs speed), I read through the MATC and MAPC and found both of these cams are positions cam .

what I am looking for is to generate a cam table to specify at certain time/position the speed should be whatever (or in other word speed changes based on the change of time/position), and any time I want to pause the cam, the load stop at specific segment and when resume the cam should continue from segment+1?

I have tried MATC and generate a cam profile when the master represent the Time and slave represent the speed values that I am looking for by using a virual axis in my MATC then I transfer the Slave.actualPosition to the Drive speed but the issue that I am facing is resuming after pausing.

Is there any other way that I can do to generate this cam profile? appreciate your response in advance.
