MoveSCurve Maximum Acceleration Warning
Warning


Using a non-zero JerkPercent increases the maximum acceleration above the user-specified average.
If your system can’t handle the higher peak, you risk overshoot or excessive load. The relation between average acceleration and maximum acceleration is:

\[ Maximum Acceleration \;=\; \frac{accel}{1 - \bigl(jerkPercent \times 0.005\bigr)} \]

  • accel: the requested (average) acceleration value given in the MoveSCurve command.
  • jerkPercent: the percent of time with non-zero jerk (0–100) given in the MoveSCurve command.
  • Maximum Acceleration: the resulting peak commanded acceleration.
