Soft Start and Stop
To program a soft start with simple stop mode operation, you can use the
parameters listed in Tab le 12
. You can access the Basic parameter set with the
HIM from the Port <00> DEV PARAM folder under the File-Group, File:
Setup, Group: Basic Selection sequence.

Ramp Time Programs the time period that the controller will ramp the output voltage up to full voltage and to
full speed from the Initial Torque level.

Initial Torque The initial reduced output voltage (torque) level for the voltage ramp to the motor is established
and adjusted with this parameter—the torque level at which the ramp begins.

Stop Time Programs the amount of time desired to ramp from full to zero voltage for Soft, Linear, and Pump
Stop mode. The actual ramp stop time will depend on the stopping mode selected and load
inertia.
