Velocity Profiles

A velocity profile determines how an axis accelerates and decelerates when a command is received. You can select between two types of profiles, Trapezoidal or S-curve.

Trapezoidal Profile

The axis accelerates at a constant rate until it reaches the target speed, travels to a predetermined point, then decelerates at a constant rate to the target position.
Velocity Profile - Trapezoidal

S-curve Profile

The axis accelerates/decelerates at a fraction of Accel at the start, at Accel in the middle, and a fraction of Accel towards the end. The acceleration/deceleration rate is never constant.
Velocity Profile - S-curve
