C1: Accel & Decel Time

You can set four different acceleration and deceleration time pairs in the drive. When you activate and deactivate H1-xx = 7, 16, 1A [MFDI Function Select = Accel/Decel Time Selection 1, Motor 2 Selection, Accel/Decel Time Selection 2], you can switch acceleration and deceleration times during run.

Acceleration time parameters always set the time to accelerate from 0 Hz to E1-04 [Maximum Output Frequency]. Deceleration time parameters always set the time to decelerate from E1-04 to 0 Hz.

C1-01 [Acceleration Time 1] and C1-02 [Deceleration Time 1] are the default active accel/decel settings.

 

Parameter

Range

C1-01 [Acceleration Time 1]

0.0 to 6000.0 s

C1-02 [Deceleration Time 1]

C1-03 [Acceleration Time 2]

C1-04 [Deceleration Time 2]

C1-05 [Acceleration Time 3]

C1-06 [Deceleration Time 3]

C1-07 [Acceleration Time 4]

C1-08 [Deceleration Time 4]

Note:

The setting range for acceleration and deceleration times is 0.00 to 600.00 s when C1-10 = 0 [Accel/Decel Time Setting Units = 0.01 s (0.00 to 600.00 s)].

Use MFDIs to Switch Acceleration Times

Table 1 shows the different acceleration and deceleration times.

Figure 1shows an operation example to change acceleration and deceleration times. It is necessary to set b1-03 = 0 [Stopping Method Selection = Ramp to Stop] for this example.

Use Motor Selection to Switch Acceleration and Deceleration Times

When you set H1-xx = 16 [MFDI Function Selection = Motor 2 Selection], you can activate and deactivate the input terminal to switch between motor 1 and motor 2.

Note:

You cannot use the Motor 2 Selection function with PM motors.

Table 2 shows the possible acceleration and deceleration time combinations when you use the Motor 2 Selection function.

Use Output Frequency Level to Switch Acceleration and Deceleration Times

The drive can use output frequency to automatically switch between different acceleration and deceleration times. When the output frequency = C1-11 [Accel/Decel Time Switchover Freq], the drive automatically switches the acceleration and deceleration times. Set C1-11 = 0.0 Hz to disable this function.

Note:
  • Acceleration and deceleration times set to MFDIs are more important than the automatic switch using the frequency level set in C1-11. For example, if you set the switchover frequency to C1-11, the drive will not automatically switch acceleration and deceleration times when the MFDI terminal set for Accel/Decel Time Selection 1 [H1-xx = 7] is activated.

  • If Motor 2 Selection [H1-xx = 16] is activated, the drive will set the acceleration/deceleration time to C1-05 and C1-06 for motor 2 when the output frequency is more than the frequency level set in C1-11.
