Thrust = 100*VEL |
|
Thrust = (500/3)*(VEL/MAXVEL) |
Profile Variables | Units | |
VEL | Velocity | Linear: m, mm, in Rotary: °, rad, rev |
MAXVEL | Max Velocity in Segment/Move Always a positive value Ie. MAXVEL = Max(Abs(VEL)) in the Segment/Move |
Linear: m/s, mm/s, in/s Rotary: °/s, rad/s, rev/s |
MAXVELCYC | Max Velocity in Cycle/Sequence Always a positive value Ie. MAXVELCYC = Max(Abs(VEL)) in the Cycle/Sequence |
Linear: m/s, mm/s, in/s Rotary: °/s, rad/s, rev/s |
