Jerk-Limited S-Curve

In the Jerk-Limited S-Curve profile, the acceleration curve of the profile is divided into two equal parts. In each half, the acceleration increases or decreases at a constant rate such that the specified acceleration and acceleration jerk limits are not exceeded. The deceleration curve is also generated similarly with the specified deceleration and deceleration jerk limits.

The differences between this profile and the S-Curve profile are that the acceleration jerk and deceleration jerk are specified, and that the acceleration and deceleration are specified as a limit instead of an average value.

This profile uses the following profile parameters:
