About Stop Detection¶
Some features, such as Disarming Behavior and Timeout Behavior rely on detecting when a module is stopped. This section defines how a stop is detected, and how that detection can be configured by advanced users.
A Vertiq module is considered stopped when it has been below its stopping speed continuously for some stopping time. Anytime the module’s velocity goes above the stopping speed, it will reset the countdown on the stopping time.
The stopping speed and stopping time can be configured by users using the Stopped Speed and Stopped Time parameters in the Advanced tab of the IQ Control Center, as shown below.
Stop Detection Parameters in IQ Control Center¶
For example, if the stopping time were 1 second and the stopping speed were 5 rad/s, if the module were spinning at 2 rad/s for 0.5 seconds, then 10 rad/s for 1 second, and then 2 rad/s again for another 0.5 seconds, it would not be considered stopped. The countdown was reset when the module went to 10 rad/s. If the module stayed at 2 rad/s for 1 second, it would then be considered stopped.
