Maximum Motor Speed.
The maximum motor RPM is the maximum rated speed for the motor being used with the A250
control. The default nominal value is 11.5 RPM. This value should be changed to reflect the actual motor RPM
based on motor type and tuning results (See Drive Tuning following this section). Initially, this value should
be set to the nameplate RPM for the motor/gearbox being used, before proceeding to Drive Tuning.

Encoder Pulses.
The encoder pulses are determined by the number of encoder steps per motor revolution (usually 30)
multiplied by the gearbox ratio. In the case of the standard motor, the ratio is 190:1, so 30 X 190 = 5700. To
change the value, press the value on the screen to activate the keyboard. Key in the correct value and press the
key.
