the natural slope of the interpolated curve.
• Cyclic - Matches the velocity of the first and last point so
that the curve can be run cyclically.
Overshoot Protection For cubic-interpolated curves, eliminates overshoot of any local
maximums or local minimums in the curve points. For details, see
Curve Interpolation Methods and Options.
Auto Constant Velocity
Behavior
For cubic-interpolated curves, this option will automatically insert
a linear segment in the curve if three or more data points are in a
straight line. For details, see Curve Interpolation Methods and
Options.
Life Cycle The Life Cycle defines whether the curve will automatically be
deleted, and whether it can be saved to Flash.
The possible life cycles are:
• Permanent
All curves created in the Curve Tool are Permanent. These
can be saved to Flash. These curves will not be
automatically deleted.
• Standard
These curves cannot be saved to Flash, must be deleted
manually, or will disappear when power is removed from
the controller.
• Start-Once
This curve will automatically be deleted after it has been
started once, or will disappear when power is removed
from the controller.
• Complete-Once
This curve will automatically be deleted after it has been
completed once, or will disappear when power is removed
from the controller.
The Standard, Start-Once, and Complete-Once life cycles can be
specified only when creating curves using the Curve Add
command. For more details, see the Curve Add (82) command.
Velocity Limit Use this to specify a velocity limit for the curve. If the curve
velocity exceeds this limit, the Curve Tool will give an error and
will not allow the curve to be downloaded. To view the velocity
limit on the graph, click the Show Velocity Limit button on
the toolbar.
Acceleration Limit Use this to specify an acceleration limit for the curve. If the curve
acceleration exceeds this limit, the Curve Tool will give an error
and will not allow the curve to be downloaded. To view the
acceleration limit on the graph, click the Show Acceleration
Limit button on the toolbar.
