† If StepNLoop is enabled, the HSPD range values need to be transposed from PPS (pulse/sec) to EPS (encoder counts/sec) using the following formula:   EPS = PPS / Step-N-Loop Ratio

B.1  Acceleration/Deceleration Range

The allowable acceleration/deceleration values depend on the LSPD and HSPD settings. The minimum accel/decel setting for a given high speed and low speed is shown in the speed settings table above. The maximum accel/decel setting for a given high speed and low speed can be calculated using the formula:

Max ACC = ((HS – LS) / δ) × 1000 [ms]

Note: The ACC parameter will be automatically adjusted if the value exceeds the allowable HSPD value range.

Examples:

  1. If HSPD = 20,000 pps, LSPD = 10,000 pps: 
    1. Min acceleration allowable: 1 ms
    2. Max acceleration allowable: ((20,000 – 10000) / 50) x 1,000 ms = 200,000 ms (200 sec)


  1. If HSPD = 900,000 pps, LSPD = 9,000 pps: 
    1. Min acceleration allowable: 1 ms
    2. Max acceleration allowable: ((900,000 – 9,000) / 1500) x 1000 ms = 594,000 ms (594 sec)


B.2  Acceleration/Deceleration Range – Positional Move

When dealing with positional moves, the controller automatically calculates the appropriate acceleration and deceleration based on the following rules:

  1. ACC vs. DEC 1:  If the theoretical position where the controller begins deceleration is less than L/2, the acceleration value is used for both ramp up and ramp down.
  2. ACC vs. DEC 2:  If the theoretical position where the controller begins constant speed is greater than L/2, the acceleration value is used for both ramp up and ramp down.
  3. Triangle Profile: If either (1) or (2) occur, the velocity profile becomes triangle.  Maximum speed is reached at L/2.
