[2]   "Acceleration/deceleration method setting" control details and 
setting 
In the "acceleration/deceleration method setting", the acceleration/deceleration 
processing method is selected and set. The set acceleration/deceleration 
processing is applied to all acceleration/deceleration (except for inching operation 
and manual pulse generator operation).  
The two types of "acceleration/deceleration method setting" are shown below.  
(1)   Trapezoidal acceleration/deceleration processing method 
This is a method in which linear acceleration/deceleration is carried out 
based on the acceleration time, deceleration time, and speed limit value set 
by the user.

(2)   S-curve acceleration/deceleration processing method 
In this method, the motor burden is reduced during starting and stopping.  
This is a method in which acceleration/deceleration is carried out gradually, 
based on the acceleration time, deceleration time, speed limit value, and

 S-curve ratio" (1 to 100%) set by the user.  
When the stepping motor is used, the acceleration around the inflection 
point on the s shape is faster compared with the trapezoidal 
acceleration/deceleration. This may cause step-out.

In this case, adjust the acceleration/deceleration time to decrease the 
acceleration around the inflection point, or use a servo motor.
