3 — PROGRAMMABLE PARAMETERS
M1 ACCEL RATE [default access: User]
M2 ACCEL RATE [default access: User]
The acceleration rate defines the time it takes the controller to accelerate from
0% output to 100% output. A larger value represents a longer acceleration time
and a gentler start. Fast starts can be achieved by reducing the acceleration time,
i.e., by adjusting the accel rate to a smaller value. The accel rate is adjustable from
0.2 seconds to 3.0 seconds. The recommended range is 0.5–3.0 seconds, with
accel rates less than 0.5 seconds allowed for abrupt acceleration under special
circumstances.
M1 DECEL [default access: OEM]
M2 DECEL [default access: OEM]
The deceleration rate defines the time it takes the controller to decelerate from
100% output to 0% output when traveling in the forward direction. A larger
value represents a longer deceleration time and a gentler stop. Reducing the decel
rate will reduce the stopping distance required. The decel rate should be set at a
value that will ensure the vehicle stops within a safe distance when traveling at
maximum speed. (NOTE: The maximum allowed vehicle stopping distance may be
defined by local regulations.) The decel rate is adjustable from 0.2 seconds to 3.0
seconds. The recommended range is 0.5–3.0 seconds, with decel rates less than
0.5 seconds allowed for abrupt stops under special circumstances.
M1 REV DECEL [default access: OEM]
M2 REV DECEL [default access: OEM]
The reverse deceleration rate defines the time it takes the controller to decelerate
from maximum reverse speed to 0% output when traveling in the reverse
direction. A larger value represents a longer deceleration time and a gentler stop.
Reducing the reverse decel rate will reduce the stopping distance required. The
reverse decel rate should be set at a value that will ensure the vehicle stops within
a safe distance when traveling at maximum reverse speed. (NOTE: The maximum
allowed vehicle stopping distance may be defined by local regulations.) Lower
values may be required to ensure rapid stops when driving down ramps in reverse.
The reverse decel rate is adjustable from 0.2 seconds to 3.0 seconds. The
recommended range is 0.5–3.0 seconds, with reverse decel rates less than 0.5
seconds allowed for abrupt stops under special circumstances.
