Overload Protection Function
Using Overload protection function, we can protect motor damage from overload condition.
Overload protection function is being activated from the factory. When it is activated, motor power will be cut off in
case of overload condition to protect the servo actuator
The easiest way to set(activate/inactivate) Overload protection function is to connect servo with Servo Manager
Software using IR-USB01 PC USB interface. Go to "Shutdown Alarm Setting" and simply click(activate) "Overload Error".
Another method to set Overload protection is to use a Command packet. You can send "Store data" command to the
address(0X12) which is the address for Alarm Shutdown.
"1"(Overload activation), then send "Store data" command to the servo motor. Servo force will be cut off under overload
condition if the bit is set at "1".(1= Overload protection activation / 0=Inactivation)
