The chart below shows a stopping movement that begins from a
negative
velocity and a very high decelera-
tion. (It is a deceleration because the speed is slowing down.) However, because the initial deceleration is
so high, the motor is unable to stop without overshooting 0 velocity and ‘coming back’.
So the curve starts with a deceleration ramp-down
segment (using JERKMIN4) to slow the deceleration
as much as possible before reaching 0 velocity. At
0 velocity, the "deceleration" becomes an
‘acceleration’" because the direction has changed.
Hence, the curve continues by ramping-down the
acceleration (using JERKMIN2) until it gets to 0
acceleration. The motor is now at a constant posi-
tive velocity and so the curve will finish in the
normal way with a deceleration ramp-up segment
(using JERKMIN3), a constant deceleration seg-
ment (very short in this example), and a decele-
ration ramp-down segment to 0 velocity (using
JERKMIN4).
Changing to a Constant Velocity
This chart shows a movement that begins from a
positive constant velocity and increases its speed
to a higher positive constant velocity. This curve
consists of an acceleration ramp-up segment (using
JERKMIN), followed by a constant acceleration
segment (at maximum acceleration), and finally an
acceleration ramp-down segment to constant
velocity (using JERKMIN2). Note that the decelera-
tion JERKMIN3 and JERKMIN4 values are not used
because there is never any deceleration.
This chart shows a movement that begins from a
high positive constant velocity and decreases its
speed to a lower positive constant velocity. This
curve consists of a deceleration ramp-up segment
(using JERKMIN3), followed by a constant decele-
ration segment (at maximum deceleration), and
finally a deceleration ramp-down segment to
constant velocity (using JERKMIN4). Note that the
acceleration JERKMIN and JERKMIN2 values are not
used because there is never any acceleration.
