Computer-based design system for an electric drive system

A computer-based design system for an electric drive system, comprising:

• a central processing unit that implements a value limit monitoring device and a limit value memory;
• a cam editor having a graphical user interface, wherein the graphical user interface sets values of parameters of a motion profile of the electric drive system on the basis of user inputs;
• the limit value memory, which stores limit values of the motion profile;
• and
• the limit value monitoring device which monitors whether a value of a parameter inputted by a user input causes one or more of the stored limit values to be violated by the resulting motion profile and, in the case that one or more of the stored limit values are violated by the resulting motion profile, to automatically adjust the inputted value of the parameter to an adapted inputted value of the parameter that comes closest to the inputted value without violating any of the stored limit values by the resulting motion profile,
• wherein the design system visualizes deviations of a motion profile projected by the design system from a motion profile executed by the drive system in real time on the basis of the projected motion profile, and
• wherein the cam editor provides user inputs by which parameters that have been selected previously are displaced vertically or horizontally, wherein the cam editor has a first adjustment mode during which previously-selected parameters can only be displaced horizontally, and wherein the cam editor has a second adjustment mode during which the previously-selected parameters can only be displaced vertically.
