6.5.6 Acceleration/Deceleration Settings
The acceleration/deceleration can be set to either the rate of acceleration/deceleration or the time
required to reach the rated speed from 0. The settings method used depends on the related parameter
settings.
The parameters related to acceleration/deceleration settings are listed in the following table.

Parameters
No. 5
Number of
Decimal Places
Set the number of digits below the decimal point in the input
reference unit. The minimum reference unit is determined by
this parameter and the Command Unit (fixed parameter 4).
Example:
Command Unit = mm, Number of Decimal Places = 3
  
1 reference unit = 0.001 mm
No. 34
Rated Speed
Set the number of rotations when the motor is rotated at the
rated speed (100% speed). Confirm the motor specifications
before setting this parameter.
3000
No. 36
Encoder
Resolution
Set the number of pulses (the value after multiplication) per
motor rotation.
Example:
For a 16-bit encoder, set 2
16
= 65536.
