OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS
8.3 Inertia / acceleration compensation (optional)
(NOT APPLICABLE FOR READOUT ONLY OPERATION)
This option is used for heavy rolls where the inertia negatively affects stopping and starting and
acceleration/deceleration. With this feature the CYGNUS can compensate for the inertia and maintain better control.
NOTE: This feature only works with linear ramping of velocity. While Inertia Comp can be used without Auxiliary
Inputs, best results will be achieved when using a Diameter Input.
Accel Comp requires a web velocity input, but may be used without a diameter input. For best results, use a DC
diameter input.
