The following example shows the effect of Energy Balance.
Figure 35 - Energy Balance
Note the following relationships:
• Energy Balance moves the maximum acceleration point horizontally so
that it occurs lower or higher in velocity
• For Velocity moves, target velocity is unaffected and, as a result, energy is
unaffected
• Energy Balance does not induce dwells or extend move time
• For Velocity moves, Energy Balance creates asymmetry
• Asymmetry trades maximum acceleration and jerk for minimum
acceleration and jerk
• Asymmetry lets you adjust maximum and minimum acceleration and jerk
times
