Notes
(1) The Vmax factor is an approximation
(2) In case of motion without acceleration (AccShape = 1) the length of the steps = 1/Vmin. In case of accelerated
motion (AccShape = 0) the length of the first step is shorter than 1/Vmin depending of Vmin, Vmax and Acc.
8.4. Acceleration and deceleration
Sixteen possible values can be programmed for Acc (acceleration and deceleration between Vmin and Vmax).
The table below provides the obtainable values in Full-step/s². One observes restrictions for some combination
of acceleration index and maximum speed (gray cells).
The accuracy of Acc is derived from the internal oscillator.

The formula to compute the number of equivalent Full-step during acceleration phase is:
Nstep
=
Vmax 2 − Vmin2
2 × Acc
8.5. Positioning
The position programmed in command SetPosition is given as a number of (micro)steps. According to the
chosen stepping mode, the position words must be aligned as described in the table below. When using
command GotoSecurePosition, data is automatically aligned.

8.5.1. Position ranges
A position is coded by using the binary two’s complement format. According to the positioning commands which
are used (see § 9.2.2.10 Application Commands) and to the chosen stepping mode, the position range will be as
shown in the table below.
