Setting Up Parameters
This is used to select the acceleration/deceleration type for all motion (homes, jogs and indexes). The

Stop Deceleration
The value you enter here defines the deceleration rate which is used when the Stop destination is activated. The default is 100 RPM/second.
The Stop destination is found in the Ramps Group in the Assignments view.
Feedhold Decel/Accel
When the Feedhold destination is activated, the motor will decelerate to a stop in the time specified by the FeedholdDecelTime parameter. When feedhold is cleared, the motor will accelerate back to speed in the same specified period of time.
Feedhold is a means to halt the motor within a velocity profile and then return to the profile later at the exact same place in the profile. Feedhold does not ramp and does not decelerate in terms of velocity. Instead, it stops by decelerating time. For example, if the motor is running at 50 revs/second and feedhold is activated with 2 seconds specified in the FeedholdDecelTime parameter, then the motor will actually slow and stop in 2 seconds as measured time (on a time/velocity profile) goes from 100% to 0%.
Travel Limit Decel
The value entered here is the deceleration ramp that is used when a software or hardware travel limit is hit.
