You can calculate the minimum acceleration increment with the following
formula:
where Amin = 1/65,536 counts/sample2 or steps/sample2
Ts = sample period in seconds per sample
For a typical servo axis with 2,000 counts per revolution operating at the
250 µs update rate, calculate the minimum acceleration/deceleration
increment using the following equation:
You can calculate the maximum acceleration/deceleration using the
following equation:
where Amax = 32 counts/sample2
Ts = sample period in seconds per sample
and is constrained according to the following equations:
acceleration ≤ 256 × deceleration
deceleration ≤ 65536 × acceleration
NI 73xx Acceleration in RPS/s
Acceleration and deceleration values in RPS/s are converted to an internal
16.16 fixed-point format in units of counts/sample2 or steps/sample2 before
being used by the trajectory generator.
Table4-3 shows the minimum and maximum acceleration update rates in
counts/sec2.
