8.2 Acceleration and Deceleration Time (F07 / F08)
Acceleration and Deceleration times directly control the system dynamic response. In general, the longer the
acceleration and deceleration time, the slower the system response, and the shorter time, the faster the response. An
excessive amount of time can result in sluggish system performance while too short of a time may result in system
instability.
The default values suggested normally result in good system performance for the majority of general purpose
applications. If the values need to be adjusted, caution should be exercised, and the changes should be in small
increments to avoid system instability.
These parameters set the acceleration and deceleration times of the output frequency from 0 to maximum frequency
and from maximum frequency to 0.
Setting range: 0.01 to 3600 Sec.
To set parameter F07/F08:
- Press PRG key, next select QUICK SET or DATA SET with UP/DOWN and keys and press the
FUNC/DATA key.
- In the parameter list move cursor to F07/F08 with UP/DOWN keys and press FUNC/DATA key to select.
Acceleration and deceleration times are represented by the three most significant (high order) digits. Set acceleration
and deceleration times with respect to maximum frequency. The relationship between the set frequency value and
acceleration/deceleration times is as follows:
Output frequency
Acceleration time
Set frequency
Time
Deceleration time
Maximum frequency
Output frequency
Acceleration time
Set frequency
Time
Deceleration time
Maximum frequency
Set Frequency = Maximum Frequency Set Frequency < Maximum Frequency
Note: If the set acceleration and deceleration times are set too low, the torque limiting function or stall prevention
function can become activated if the load torque and or inertia are relatively high. This will prolong the acceleration
and or deceleration times and not allow the set times to be followed. In this case the acceleration and or the
deceleration times should be adjusted.
