I have made a barrel cam using wrap emboss and 2d curve. How do i give cam constraint to it so that it will move according to the profile?

You should be able to use the Follower/Cam Constraint in the Positioning Constraint tool. 

  • Follower/Cam. Creates a Tangent Constraint from a point or surface to the swept side surface of an extruded profile.

Basically you can constrain say the side of a cylinder (pin) to the side of the CAM path that was made assuming it is smoothly connected. The movement would probably need to use the Mechanism mode as mentioned above.
