Note 2 The current is maximized at the excitation phase detection conducted in the first servo ON process after the power is
supplied (ordinary 100ms).
Note 3 High-output type driver board can control one axis per board.
Note 4 The current becomes maximum when the excitation phase of the servo-motor is detected, which is performed during the
initial servo ON processing after the power is injected. (Normal: Approx. 1 to 2 sec, MAX.: 10 sec).

(7) Selection of Power Supply:
Usually, the rated current is to be approximately 1.3 times higher than 1) + 2) + 6) above considering approximately 30% of
margin to the load current. However, considering the current of 3) to 5), even though it is a short time, select a power supply
with "peak load corresponding" type or that with enough capacity. Avoid current of 3) to 5) from occurring at the same time
by having the timing of emergency stop release (turning the motor power on) and timing to turn the servo on shifted
from each other and so on. Huge current flow of the same time may cause a transient voltage drop. Be careful especially
when selecting a power source equipped with remote sensing.
Note 5
The timing to turn the servo ON can be shifted in Driver Shutdown Release Delay Time in the gateway parameter
setting tool.
(Note) Make short-circuit on 0V side when separate power sources are used for the control power and motor power.
(Reference) Selection of Power Supply Protection Circuit Breaker
It is recommended that the power supply protection is conducted on the primary side (AC power side) of the 24V DC power
supply unit.
Pay attention to the in-rush current of 24V DC power supply unit and rated cutoff current of the circuit breaker.
• Rated Breaking Current > Short-circuit Current = Primary Power Supply Capacity/Power Voltage
