Machine-Specic Motion Control
Acceleration/Deceleration Rate Unit Selection and Speed
Changes Over Time
The settings for the OL
36 setting parameter (Linear Acceleration Rate/Acceleration Time
Constant) and OL
38 (Linear Deceleration Rate/Deceleration Time Constant) are handled
differently based on the setting in bits 4 through 7 in OW
03 (Acceleration/Deceleration
Rate Unit Selection).
When Bits 4 to 7 in OW
03 Are Set to 0 (Reference Units/s
2
)
The settings of OL
36 and OL
38 are treated as the linear acceleration rate and linear
deceleration rate, respectively.
When Bits 4 to 7 in OW
03 Are Set to 1 (ms)
The setting of OL
36 is treated as the linear acceleration time constant, or the time
required to reach the rated speed from a speed of zero using linear acceleration. The setting of
OL
38 is treated as the linear deceleration time constant, or the time required to reach a
speed of zero from the rated speed using linear deceleration.
For the following commands, acceleration/deceleration processing is performed by the SER-
VOPACK.
