Multi-Axis Coordinated Motion Instructions
Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM002H-EN-P-February 2018 491
• If Speed units are Master units, then acceleration, deceleration, and jerk
units must be Master units too.
• All unsupported unit combinations result in an error at runtime when the
instruction is executed.
Jerk enumerations
The following enumerations are defined for time driven and MDSC driven Jerk
units.

Acceptable combinations of Accel and Decel Units are based on the programmed
Speed Units in the instruction as is shown in the table below. This table is used to
clarify the differences in the following four tables.
