Detecting Motor Torque
If an excessive load is placed on the machinery (overtorque) or the load is suddenly lightened (undertorque),
you can output an alarm signal to multi-function output terminal M1-M2, P1-PC, or P2-PC.
To use the overtorque/undertorque detection function, set B, 17, 18, 19 (overtorque/undertorque detection NO/
NC) in one of the following constants: H2-01 to H2-03 (multi-function output terminals M1-M2, P1-PC, and
P2-PC function selection).
The overtorque/undertorque detection level is the current level (Inverter rated output current 100%) in V/f
control, and the motor torque (motor rated torque 100%) in vector control.

Description
0: Overtorque/undertorque
detection disabled.
1: Overtorque detection only
with speed agreement;
operation continues after
overtorque (warning).
2: Overtorque detected
continuously during
operation; operation
continues after overtorque
(warning).
3: Overtorque detection only
with speed agreement;
output stopped upon
detection (protected
operation).
4: Overtorque detected
continuously during
operation; output stopped
upon detection (protected
operation).
5: Undertorque detection only
with speed agreement;
operation continues after
overtorque (warning).
6: Undertorque detected
continuously during
operation; operation
continues after overtorque
(warning).
7: Undertorque detection only
with speed agreement;
output stopped upon
detection (protected
operation).
8: Undertorque detected
continuously during
operation; output stopped
upon detection (protected
operation).
Open loop vector control: Motor
rated torque is set as 100%.
V/f control: Inverter rated cur-
rent is set as 100%.
