S-Curve Profiling<br />

Controllers allow you to perform S-curve move profiles, in addition to the usual trapezoidal<br />

profiles. S-curve profiling provides smoother motion control by reducing the jerk (rate of<br />

change) in acceleration <strong>and</strong> deceleration portions of the move profile (see drawing below).<br />

Because S-curve profiling reduces jerk, it improves position tracking performance.<br />

S-Curve Programming Requirements<br />

To program an S-curve profile, you must use the average accel/decel comm<strong>and</strong>s provided in<br />

the Gem6K Series programming language. For every maximum accel/decel comm<strong>and</strong> (e.g.,<br />

A, AD, HOMA, HOMAD, JOGA, JOGAD, etc.) there is an average comm<strong>and</strong> for S-curve<br />

profiling (see table below).<br />

Determining the S-Curve Characteristics<br />

The comm<strong>and</strong> values for average accel/decel (AA, ADA, etc.) <strong>and</strong> maximum accel/decel (A, AD,<br />

etc.) determine the characteristics of the S-curve. To smooth the accel/decel ramps, you must<br />

enter average accel/decel comm<strong>and</strong> values that satisfy the equation ½ A ≤ AA < A, where<br />

A represents maximum accel/decel <strong>and</strong> AA represents average accel/decel. Given this<br />

requirement, the following conditions are possible:<br />
