2.18 Kneeshaped acceleration characteristic curve
2.18.1 Detailed Description
2.18.1.1 Adaptation to the motor characteristic curve
Function
Various types of motor, particularly stepper motors, have a torque characteristic that is highly
dependent upon speed and shows a steep decrease in torque in the upper speed range. To
ensure optimum utilization of the motor characteristic curve, it is necessary to reduce the
acceleration once a certain speed is reached.

Simulation of torque characteristic
For the purpose of simulating the torque characteristic of the motor characteristic curve, the
machine data:
