2.8 How to monitor motor torque and load
2.8.1
Monitoring motor torque and load
All the MAC motors contain a register that continuously is updated with the actual motor
load integrated over some time.
The register is called I2T (melt integral) - the name in MacTalk is "Motor load (mean)".
The motor can produce up to 300% torque as long as the I2T register do not reach
100%. If it reaches 100% the motor will go in passive mode and an overload error is re-
ported. The I2T register can also be useful to monitor the load over time to see if me-
chanics starts to have an unintended higher friction compared to the installation date.
