Velocity Profile Effects
This table summarizes the differences between profiles.
Jerk Rate Calculation
If the instruction uses or changes an S-curve profile, the controller calculates
acceleration, deceleration, and jerk when you start the instruction.
The system has a Jerk priority planner. In other words, Jerk always takes priority
over acceleration and velocity. Therefore, you always get the programmed Jerk. If
a move is velocity-limited, the move does not reach the programmed acceleration
and/or velocity.
Jerk Parameters for MAJ programmed in units of % time are converted to
engineering units as follows:
If Start Speed < MAJ Programmed Speed
If Start Velocity > MAJ Programmed Speed
