Abstract
Provided herein are systems, methods, and software for improving drive efficiency in an industrial automation system. In one implementation, a system comprises a mechanical load, an electromechanical device attached to the mechanical load, and a drive coupled to the electromechanical device. A processor is programmed to generate and display an acceleration curve, a duplicate acceleration curve, an energy curve and a duplicate energy curve. A user input is received indicating a change to at least a portion of the duplicate acceleration curve, and a change to the duplicate energy curve is calculated and displayed. A modified command signal based on the user input is calculated, and the drive is configured to control the electromechanical device via the modified command signal to mechanically operate the mechanical load perform a task.
