11.2.1 Switch-Off Threshold Switch-off threshold stop function 637 defines the frequency as from which a standstill of the drive is recognized. This percentage parameter value is relative to Maximum frequency the set 419. The switch-off threshold is to be adjusted according to the load behavior of the drive and the device output, as the drive must be controlled to a speed below the switch- off threshold.

13.6.2 JOG frequency The JOG function forms part of the functions for controlling the drive mechanism via the control unit. Use the arrow keys to change the JOG frequency within the function. The frequency of the output signal is set to the entered value if the FUN key is JOG frequency pressed.
13.7 Frequency ramps The ramps determine how quickly the frequency value is changed if the reference value changes or after a start, stop or brake command. The maximum admissible ramp gradient can be selected according to the application and the current con- sumption of the motor.
Page 145
Maximum leading The parameter 426 limits the difference between the output of the ramp and the current actual value of the drive. The set maximum deviation is a dead time for the control system which should be kept as low as possible. In case the drive is loaded heavily and high acceleration and deceleration values are selected it is possible, that a set controller limit is reached while the drive is accele- rated or decelerated.
Page 146
Setting the ramp time to 0 ms deactivates the function S curve and enables the use of the linear ramps. The data set change-over of the parameters within an accelera- tion phase of the drive mechanism demands the defined take-over of the values. The controller calculates the values required in order to reach the reference value from the ratio of the acceleration to the ramp time and uses it until the acceleration phase is complete.
13.8 Percentage Value Ramps The percentage value ramps scale the change of the reference value (in percent) for the corresponding input function. The acceleration and deceleration of the drive are parameterized via the frequency ramps. Gradient percentage ramp The behavior 477 corresponds to a function which takes the time behavior of the drive system into account.

The signal frequency at the selected repetition frequency input can be scaled via the parameter Divider 497. The parameter figure is comparable with the division marks of a speed sensor per rotation of the drive mechanism. The frequency limit of the parameterized digital input is to be taken into account for the frequency of the input signal.
