2. Reference ramp parameter setting
The ramp control function is to change the speed references with large difference to 
smoother speed references with constant acceleration and deceleration, that is, controlling 
acceleration and deceleration by setting the acceleration and deceleration time. If the set 
speed references change greatly, the motor may jitter or vibrate greatly. In this case, the soft 
start acceleration and deceleration time can implement smooth running of the motor and 
prevent vibration and damage to the mechanical parts.
The related function codes are set in the following table.

The ramp control function converts the stepped speed references to smooth speed 
references with constant acceleration/deceleration, implementing smooth speed control 
(including internally set speed reference).

•
H06-05 species the time constant for the speed reference to accelerate from zero to 
1000 RPM.
 
•
H06-06 species the time constant for the speed reference to decelerate from1000 RPM 
to zero.
The formulas of calculating the actual acceleration and deceleration time are as follows:
 
•
Actual acceleration time = (Speed reference/1000) x Acceleration ramp time constant of 
speed reference 
 
•
Actual deceleration time = (Speed reference/1000) x Deceleration ramp time constant of 
speed reference
