Soft Start Settings
The soft start function takes a stepwise speed reference input and applies the specified accel-
eration/deceleration rates to convert it to a trapezoidal speed reference.
You specify the acceleration/deceleration rates in Pn305 (Soft Start Acceleration Time) and
Pn306 (Soft Start Deceleration Time).
Use this function to perform smoother speed control (including internal set speed control).
Pn305: The time required for the Servomotor to accelerate from a stopped state to the maxi-
mum motor speed.
Pn306: The time required for the Servomotor to decelerate from the maximum motor speed to
a stopped state.
You can calculate the actual acceleration/deceleration times with the following formulas.
