This button loads a Cycle with Alternating Directions This example is made of four basic cycles, with identical active parts, but with different dwell times, as required by the manufacturing process it automates. This button loads a Cycle with Multiple Dwell Times It's composed of an acceleration phase, a constant speed phase, a deceleration phase and a dwell time. This is the most fundamental cycle, and appears in most applications. Peak torque is the highest (or lowest, for negative torques) torque reached during the cycle.ĭuring a phase, speed changes from initial speed to final speed, while torque remains constant.įirst phase always has an initial speed of 0Īverage speed of the active part of the cycle, in rpm. This is the average torque during the active part of the cycle Peak speed is the highest (or lowest, for negative speeds) speed reached during the cycle. Maximum average phase speed is the highest (or lowest, for negative speeds) average speed during a single phase reached during the cycle. If the input changes directions, average speed is calculated for the positive and negative parts of the phase independently.

The average phase speed is the average of the initial and final speeds of the phase, unless there's a change of direction in the input. The cycle's duty cycle is the percentage of time where the input is delivering torque to the machine. Last phase always has an end speed of 0 rpm.ĭuration of the active part of the cycle.Ī phase is part of the active part of the cycle if it has non-zero speed or torque.
