Duty Cycle Calculations

  • Acceleration time = (Velocity / Acceleration-time)
    • T-a = 25fps / 2.5fps^2 = 10 seconds
  • Retardation time = (Velocity / Retardation-time)
    • T-r = 25fps / 2.5fps^2 = 10 seconds
  • Full Speed Time
    • T-fs = (Length/Velocity) - (Velocity/2)*((1/Acceleration-time)+(1/Retardation-time))
    • T-fs = (1200/25) - (25/2)*((1/2.5)+(1/2.5))
    • T-fs = 38 seconds
  • Idle Time
    • T-0 = 20 sec
  • Total Cycle Time
    • T-a + T-fs + T-r + T-0
    • 10 + 38 + 10 + 20 = 78 seconds
