Settings Group
The Settings Group contains the Acceleration Type List Box.
Acceleration Type
Press the arrow by the Acceleration Type list box. It will display the various acceleration
types: 5/8 S-Curve, 1/4 S-Curve, Linear, and S-Curve.
This is used to select the acceleration/deceleration type for all motion (homes, jogs and
indexes). The “S-Curve” ramps offer the smoothest motion, but lead to higher peak acceler-
ation/deceleration rates. “Linear” ramps have the lowest peak acceleration/deceleration
rates but they are the least smooth ramp type. “5/8 S-Curve” ramps and “1/4 S-Curve”
