FM-3 Programming Module Reference Manual
Index Type – Select the desired type of index from the list box. Index2 has been defined as an Incremental type of index. This means that the load travels an exact distance from the start of the index.
Distance – The distance is a signed value that specifies the distance the load will travel from the start position. The sign of this parameter determines direction of travel for the load. The distance of Position C has been set to 2.5 inches.
Velocity – Is the target velocity of the index profile. The velocity parameter is unsigned and is always greater than zero. Direction of the index is determined not by the velocity, but by the Distance/Position parameter.
Acceleration – Is the average acceleration rate used when accelerating to the target index velocity.
Deceleration - Is the average deceleration rate used when decelerating to zero speed, or to the new target velocity.
