Acceleration/Deceleration
Acceleration/Deceleration (CP-16 and CP-17) control the rate of speed change in
response to setpoint changes. These parameters apply to both the Master and
Follower modes of operation.
The MLP–Drive comes factory pre-loaded with default Control Parameters for
Acceleration/Deceleration. Generally, these default settings are suitable for most
applications and do not require modification. The factory default Control Parameters for
Timing are found in Table 3-37. To modify these default parameters, refer to
Table 3-38.

After the Control Parameters for Acceleration/Deceleration have been entered, you can
enter the Control Parameters for Tuning either the Master or the Follower mode. The
tuning Control Parameters are identical for both the Master and the Follower modes of
operations. Tuning is discussed in the following section.
