S Curve 89
S Curve The S Curve function provides control of the rate of change of acceleration and
deceleration (also known as “jerk”). S Curve helps control the transition from
steady state speed to a change in speed. By adjusting the percentage of S Curve
applied, the ramp takes the shape of an “S.” This allows a smoother transition and
produces less mechanical stress.
Example with No S Curve
When S Curve is enabled, it adds time to the overall acceleration by a percentage of
the programmed acceleration time. This is shown in the curves below, which
represent 0%, 25%, 50% and 100% S Curve. Note that half of the “S” is added to
beginning and half is added to the end of the ramp.
The acceleration and deceleration times are independent but the same S Curve
percentage is applied to both as shown in the following example.
