12.1.3 Calculating the Required Capacity of Regenerative Resistors
(a) Calculation Procedure
The procedure for calculating the regenerative capacity is as follows:
Step
Calculate the rotational energy of the servo-
1
motor.
Calculate the energy consumed by load loss
2
during the deceleration period.
Calculate the energy lost from servomotor
3
winding resistance.
Calculate the SERVOPACK energy that can
4
be absorbed.
Calculate the energy consumed by the regen-
5
erative resistor.
Calculate the required regenerative resistor
6
capacity (W).
Note: 1. The "0.2" in the equation for calculating W
utilized load ratio is 20%.
2. The units for the various symbols are as follows:
E
T
W
t
D
J: (= J
T: Servomotor repeat operation period (s)
N
If the above calculation determines that the amount of regenerative power (Wk) processed by the built-in
resistor is not exceeded, then an external regenerative resistor is not required.
If the amount of regenerative power that can be processed by the built-in resistor is exceeded, then install an
external regenerative resistor for the capacity obtained from the above calculation.
If the energy consumed by load loss (in step 2 above) is unknown, then perform the calculation using E
When the operation period in regeneration mode is continuous, add the following items to the above calcula-
tion procedure in order to find the required capacity (W) for the regenerative resistor.
• Energy for continuous regeneration mode operation period: E
• Energy consumed by regenerative resistor: E
• Required capacity of regenerative resistor: W
