manner to the acceleration phase, using the Bow Index to reach the maximum
deceleration (D) and then bring the axis to a stop at the destination.
Persist Settings to Hardware -
Many of the parameters that can be set for the Stepper
Driver T-Cube can be stored (persisted) within the unit itself, such that when the unit
is next powered up these settings are applied automatically. This is particularly
important when the driver is being used manually in the absence of a PC and USB
link. The Velocity Profile and Jogging parameters described previously are good
examples of settings that can be altered and then persisted in the driver for use in
absence of a PC. To save the settings to hardware, check the ‘Persist Settings to
Hardware’ checkbox before clicking the ‘OK button.
Note
The higher the Bow Index, then the shorter the BI phases of the curve, and
the steeper the acceleration and deceleration phases. High values of Bow
Index may cause a move to overshoot or may result in instability.
Caution
The ‘Persist Settings’ functionality is provided to simplify use of the unit
in the absence of a PC. When the unit is connected to a PC and is
operated via APTUser, the default APTServer settings will be loaded at
boot up, even if the ‘Persist Settings’ option has been checked.
