Basic description of PCL series 

-7- 

 
6. S-curve range setting 

240 (except for the PCL-240AK/240MK), 50oo (except for the PCL3013/5022),    61oo 60oo 

 

 

With a normal S-curve, the center point of the 

S-curve (point A in Figure 6) has the largest 
acceleration rate (a steep slope).   

This means that the motor must accelerate 
rapidly at this point. So, the stepper motor may 

get out-of-step. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

PCL series models that have S-curve 
acceleration / deceleration can make this 

intermediate part a straight line (except for PCD 
series and the PCL3013). By providing a straight 

line here, the acceleration rate will be smaller 
(the slope will be less steep) and an out-of-step 

condition can be prevented. 
By setting the S-curve range, the length of the 

straight line can be set freely.

tangent, you can see how 

steep the slope is.)

By insetting a straight line, 
the acceleration rate will 

be smaller (the slope will 

be less steep).
