10.1 Overload protection characteristics
An electronic thermal is built in the servo amplifier to protect the servo motor, servo amplifier and servo
motor power wires from overloads.
[AL. 50 Overload 1] occurs if overload operation performed is above the electronic thermal protection curve
shown in fig. 10.1 [AL. 51 Overload 2] occurs if the maximum current is applied continuously for several
seconds due to machine collision, etc. Use the equipment on the left-hand side area of the continuous or
broken line in the graph.
For the system where the unbalanced torque occurs, such as a vertical axis system, the unbalanced torque
of the machine should be kept at 70% or less of the rated torque.
This servo amplifier has solid-state servo motor overload protection. (The servo motor overload current (full
load current) is set on the basis of 120% rated current of the servo amplifier.)
POINT
For the characteristics of the linear servo motor and the direct drive motor, refer
to sections 14.4 and 15.4.
