ROFILES
The equations in this reference use a unit of measure of steps/second/second (steps/second
2
) for acceleration
and deceleration. However, when programming the Networked Driver, all acceleration and deceleration val-
ues must be programmed in the unit of measure of steps/second/millisecond.
To convert from steps/second
2
to steps/second/millisecond, divide the value by 1000. This must be done
when converting from a value used in the equations to a value programmed into the Networked Driver.
To convert from steps/second/millisecond to steps/second
2
, multiply the value by 1000. This must be
done when converting from the value programmed into the Networked Driver to the value used in the
equations.
Constant Acceleration Equations
When you choose to use constant accelerations, the speed of the move will increase linearly towards the Pro-
grammed Speed. This is the fastest form of acceleration, resulting in the fastest move between two points at
its programmed speed. For the smoothest transition from the starting speed, the starting speed should be equal
to the square root of the acceleration in steps/sec
2
. For example, if the choose acceleration is 20,000 steps/
sec
2
, the smoothest transition occurs when the starting speed is 141. (141

20,000)

Variable Definitions
The following variables are used in these equations:
V
S
= Configured Starting Speed of the move
V
P
= Programmed Speed of the move
a
= Acceleration value. Must be in the units of steps/second
2
d
= Deceleration value. Must be in the units of steps/second

or T
D
= Time needed to complete the acceleration or

D

or D
D
= Number of Steps needed to complete the acceleration
or deceleration phase of the move
This reference was added because some of our customers must program very
precise profiles. Understanding this section is not necessary before programming
the Networked Driver and it can be considered optional. Two different approaches
are presented here. The constant acceleration example takes given parameters
and calculates the resulting profile. The variable acceleration example starts with
a desired speed profile and calculates the required parameters
