G5-series Linear Motors/Servo Drives With Built-in EtherCAT Communications
7-8 Soft Start
This function is used to control the speed. It sets the acceleration and deceleration against the speed
command input in the Servo Drive.
The function can be used for step speed commands, and allows soft starts. The S-curve Acceleration
and Deceleration function is used to reduce any impacts by acceleration changes.
Precautions for Correct UsePrecautions for Correct Use
Do not set the Soft Start Acceleration Time and the Soft Start Deceleration Time when the
position loop structure with a Host Controller is used.
Set the time required for a step speed command to reach the maximum motor speed into the Soft Start
Acceleration Time (3312 hex).
In the same manner, set the time required for the command to decrease the speed from the maximum
motor speed to “0 mm/s” into the Soft Start Deceleration Time (3313 hex).
The time taken for acceleration or deceleration is calculated by the following formula, where Vc [mm/s]
is the target speed of the speed command.
The maximum motor speed is the setting of the Overspeed Level (3910 hex).
