AXY:MC-Basic:axis.DECELERATION

This property sets the deceleration rate of the motion profile. When executing a motion command, deceleration should be less than or equal to DECELERATIONMAX. If it is greater, the motion is executed at the DECELERATIONMAX value.

This property can be used inside a motion command to override the permanent value.

Short form

<axis>.Dec

Syntax

<axis>.Deceleration = <expression >

?<axis>.Deceleration

Availability

All versions

Type

Double

Range

Greater than 0

Units

User axis acceleration units, as given by <axis>.AccelerationFactor

Default

1000

Scope

Configuration, Task or Terminal

Limitations

The ratio between Jerk and Deceleration is limited by the following relation:
       Jerk/Dec < 0.9 * p/5T

where T is the sample time in seconds.

For a cycle time of 2 msec, this value is 282.74. UseSMOOTHFACTOR to have jerk calculated automatically.

To set the value within a task, the axis must be attached to that task (using the ATTACH command).

Examples

Xaxis.deceleration = 1e10

Move Xaxis 100 dec = 2e10
