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.
6.5.3
Speed Reference Filter
The speed reference filter is a first order lag filter that is applied to the V-REF (Speed Reference
Input) signal.
You set the speed reference filter in Pn307 (Speed Reference Filter Time Constant).
It is normally not necessary to change this parameter. If the setting is too high, the response to
the speed reference may be slowed down. Monitor the response to the speed reference as you
set this parameter.
