Acceleration/Deceleration Patterns
The following acceleration/deceleration patterns can be achieved by combining acceleration/
deceleration types with filter selections.
*1. “Constant acceleration/deceleration rates” indicates that the rate of acceleration and deceleration will be con-
stant. If the feed speed is changed, the time that is required for acceleration/deceleration will change.
*2. “Constant acceleration/deceleration times” indicates that even if the feed speed is changed, the time that is
required for acceleration/deceleration will not change and the acceleration/deceleration rates will change.
Note: Any combination that is not shown above must not be used because acceleration/deceleration will not be
performed correctly.
Symmetric Linear Acceleration/Deceleration (Constant
Acceleration/Deceleration Rates)
With symmetric linear acceleration/deceleration, the acceleration/deceleration rates are deter-
mined by the Acceleration Rate parameter.
The time T that is required during a positioning operation for the reference to reach the feed
speed in PnB21 is calculated as follows:
If this acceleration/deceleration pattern is used, the acceleration/deceleration rates will remain
constant even if the feed speed in PnB21 is changed.
