Ramp-function generator
The ramp-function generator in the setpoint channel limits the rate change of the speed setpoint
(acceleration). A reduced acceleration reduces the accelerating torque of the motor. As a
consequence, the motor reduces the stress on the mechanical system of the driven machine.
The extended ramp-function generator not only limits the acceleration, but by rounding the
setpoint, also acceleration changes (jerk). This means that the motor does not suddenly
generate a torque.
Extended ramp-function generator
The ramp-up and ramp-down times of the extended ramp-function generator can be set
independently of each other. The optimal times depend on the application, and can lie in the
range from a few 100 ms to several minutes.
Initial and final rounding permit smooth, jerk-free acceleration and braking.
The ramp-up and ramp-down times of the motor are increased by the rounding times:
● Effective ramp-up time = p1120 + 0.5 × (p1130 + p1131).
● Effective ramp-down time = p1121 + 0.5 × (p1130 + p1131).
