4 PARAMETERS FOR POSITIONING CONTROL
4.3.1 Relationships between the speed limit value, acceleration time, deceleration time and
rapid stop deceleration time
The speed limit value is the maximum speed at the positioning/home position return.
The acceleration time is the time taken to reach the set speed limit value from the start
of positioning.
The deceleration time and rapid stop deceleration time are the time taken to effect a
stop from the set speed limit value.
Accordingly, the actual acceleration time, deceleration time, and rapid stop deceleration
time are faster, because the positioning speed is faster than the speed limit value.

4.3.2 S-curve ratio
S-curve ratio can be set as the acceleration and deceleration processing method for S-
pattern processing.
(Refer to Section 6.1.7 for details of S-curve acceleration/deceleration processing.)
Setting range of the S-curve ratio is 0 to 100[%].
If it is set outside the range, an error occurs at the start and control is executed with the
S-curve ratio set as 100[%].
Errors are set in the error item information area (D9190).
Setting of the S-curve ratio enables acceleration/deceleration processing to be
executed gently.
The graph for S-pattern processing is a sine curve as shown below.
