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 SD4840EK, all acceleration and deceleration values 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 SD4840EK.
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 SD4840EK to the value used in the equa-
tions.
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

d
= Deceleration value. Must be in the units of steps/second

= Time needed to complete the acceleration or

or D
D
= Number of Steps needed to complete the acceleration
or deceleration phase of the move
This reference was added for customers that must program very precise profiles.
Understanding this section is not necessary before programming the SD4840EK
and therefore can be considered optional. Two different approaches are pre-
sented here. The constant acceleration example takes given parameters and cal-
culates the resulting profile. The variable acceleration example starts with a
desired speed profile and calculates the required parameters.
