Acc/Dec
Linear or S- Curve
Acc/Dec per G- code
Hand--pulse generator
Arbitrary angle moves (i.e.,
hand--pulse generator and
continuous and incremental
motion)
Homing
All programmed moves except
for G00 and exact stop
Manual continuous motion
Manual incremental motion
PAL axis mover
All moves programmed in G00
(positioning) mode
To begin and complete a smooth axis motion, the control uses an exponential
function curve to automatically accelerate/decelerate an axis. Your system
installer sets the acceleration/deceleration time constant “T” for each axis in
AMP. Figure 12.31 shows axis motion using exponential acc/dec.
