Adaptation to the motor characteristic curve
Function
Various types of motor, particularly stepper motors, have a torque characteristic that is highly dependent upon
speed and shows a steep decrease in torque in the upper speed range. To ensure optimum utilization of the
motor characteristic curve, it is necessary to reduce the acceleration once a certain speed is reached.

Simulation of torque characteristic
For the purpose of simulating the torque characteristic of the motor characteristic curve, the machine data:
MD35242 $MA_ACCEL_REDUCTION_TYPE =
can be used to select various types of characteristic curve:
0
= Constant characteristic
1
= Hyperbolic characteristic
2
= Linear characteristic
The following figures show typical velocity and acceleration characteristic curves for the respective types of
characteristic:
