Acceleration/Deceleration Filters
SERVOPACKs come with two different acceleration/deceleration filters for position references. These filters
apply an acceleration/deceleration filter to the position references for each axis. The same filter and same time
constant must be used for all axes that are being used for interpolation control.
However, the acceleration/deceleration filters for position references in the SERVOPACK are used when the
communications cycle for MECHATROLINK-III communications is long. Apply acceleration/deceleration
filters for axis movement references at the host controller (acceleration/deceleration before interpolation,
acceleration/deceleration after interpolation, etc.).
If synchronized control is required between the spindle axis and feed axis (for tapping, threading, etc.), the
same position reference filter must be used for both axes.
