Appendix
11. Change of Moving Speed (for Linear Axes)
Description
Change the moving speed.
How to Use
With X-SEL controllers, speed can be set in the following two ways:
a: Use a VEL command in the application program.
b: Use a speed set in the position data table.
Example of Use
Application Program Position
Data
Moving speeds based on the above program
Position at 100 mm --- Move at 100 mm/sec
Position at 200 mm --- Move at 500 mm/sec
Position at 300 mm --- Move at 1000 mm/sec
Position at 400 mm --- Move at 50 mm/sec
As the above example suggests, if a speed is set in the position data table the setting in the position data
table will be given precedence even when a speed is specified in the application program. In general,
speeds are set using VEL in the application program.
VEL in Position Data Table and PATH Command
The speed can be changed without stopping the actuator by using a PATH command in combination with
VEL in the position data table. (Refer to the next page.)
