Ramps

Acceleration & Deceleration Ramps

From defaults the drive has the following ramp profile.

Note

The Acceleration time (P-03.0) is the time taken (in seconds) to go from zero speed to motor rated Frequency (P-09), and has a default value of 5.0 s.

The Deceleration time (P-04.0) is the time (in seconds) taken to go from motor rated Frequency (P-09) to zero speed during a speed reference change, and has a default value of 5.0 s.

The Deceleration time (P-04.1) is the time taken (in seconds) to go from motor rated Frequency (P-09) to zero speed when a stop command is received, and has a default value of 0.0 s ( A values of 0.00 means P-04.0 is always used).

In the case of a brake resistor not been used the deceleration time will automatically extend to prevent an Over-voltage trip from occurring.

If required then dual Acceleration ramps are available as shown in the image below :

Note

Set the required Acceleration time 1 into parameter P-03.0

Set the required Acceleration time 2 into parameter P-03.1

Set the speed in which you want to change from Acceleration ramp time 1 to Acceleration ramp time 2 into parameter P-03.2.

S-Ramps are a way of gradually increasing and decreasing motor speed smoothly, instead of changing speed sharply.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

Problem

Solution/Answer

What if i set 0 in the Deceleration time P-04.0 ?

Motor will coast to stop when stop command is received

What if i set 0.1 in the Acceleration time ?

Accelerates in 0.1 seconds
