2) Select the Move/Jogs tab as shown in Fig. 4.4.
3) In the ‘Moves’ field, change the parameters as follows:
‘Max. Vel’ - ‘4’
‘Accn/Dec’ - ‘1.5’
4) Click ‘OK’ to save the settings and close the window.
5) Any further moves initiated on channel 1 will now be performed at a maximum
velocity of 4 mm per second, with an acceleration of 1.5 mm/sec/sec.
See Section 5.3.1. for more information on these parameters.
Note
Moves are performed using a Trapezoidal or S-Curve velocity profile (see
, Section F.1.3.). The velocity settings relate to the
maximum velocity at which a move is performed, and the acceleration at
which the motor speeds up from zero to maximum velocity.
Note
In current versions of software, the ‘Min Vel’ parameter is locked at zero
and cannot be adjusted.
