Activating
Jerk limiting at block transitions becomes active if continuous path mode is programmed with
G64 and SOFT acceleration characteristics. MD32432 PATH_TRANS_JERK_LIM must
contain a positive value.
3.4.4
Machine axis-specific jerk limiting
Function
The axis-specific machine data MD32431 MAX_AX_JERK[..] can be used to set individual
changes in acceleration for each machine axis, like those that can already be set for
acceleration limits in machine data MD32300 MAX_AX_ACCEL.
MD32431 MAX_AX_JERK acts on the axes interpolated by the path if SOFT (smooth
acceleration curve) is active within a block.
A basic distinction is made between the axis acceleration curve within a block and at the
transition between two blocks.
Advantages
The deployment of axis-specific machine data for the path offers the following advantages:
●
Immediate allowance is made in the interpolation for the dynamic response of the axes,
which can then be fully utilized for each axis.
●
Jerk limitation for separate axes is performed not just in linear blocks, but also in curved
contours.

limiting".
