Acceleration/deceleration function
This function enables smooth acceleration/deceleration. The following methods are available for the acceleration/deceleration
function.

Acceleration/deceleration time constant
The acceleration/deceleration time constant is the period of time taken to reach the rated speed from 0 [r/min (0 [mm/s]) or to
reach 0 [r/min] (0 [mm/s]) from the rated speed for the commands or limits. The control mode influences whether the
acceleration/deceleration time constant is set in the servo parameters, objects, or other settable areas.
[Setting example]
For a servo motor with a rated speed of 3000 [r/min], set 3 [s] to accelerate from 0 [r/min] to 1000 [r/min] in 1 [s].
Precautions
• Refer to the different servo parameters, objects, and other settable areas in each control mode.

Acceleration/deceleration
time constant method
This is a method for performing acceleration/deceleration in accordance with the specified
acceleration/deceleration time constants [ms].
Set [Pr. PT01.1 Speed/acceleration/deceleration unit selection] to "0" to enable this method.

constant [G] [WG]
Acceleration/deceleration
method
This is a method for performing acceleration/deceleration in accordance with the specified
acceleration/deceleration [command unit/s

].
Using this method together with S-pattern acceleration/deceleration time constant enables
smoother acceleration/deceleration.
Set [Pr. PT01.1 Speed/acceleration/deceleration unit selection] to "1" to enable this method.
