-
Page 39: Output Signals
6 Connection • AWO (all windings off) input Use the signal only when the motor’s output shaft must be rotated manually for position adjustment (ON: 4.5 to 26.4 V, OFF: 0 to 1 V). • When the AWO input is turned ON, the driver stops supplying current to the motor and the motor’s holding torque is lost. - Page 40 6 Connection • ALM (alarm) output ALM output remains ON when the driver is operating normally, then turns OFF when a protective function is triggered. Error detection by the driver, such as overheat, overvoltage and overcurrent during motor operation, turns the ALM output OFF, blinks the ALARM LED on the driver, and simultaneously shuts off the motor current to stop motor operation.

Page 45: Motor Current
7 Settings 7.5 Motor current Set the motor current using the motor operating current setting switch (RUN) and motor standstill current setting switch (SW2-4). When the load is light and there is a margin for motor torque, the motor’s operating vibration and the temperature increase of the motor and driver can be held down by lowering the motor’s operating current and standstill current. - Page 46 7 Settings Standstill current Set a rate of reduction with respect to the set operating current. The standstill current is calculated by multiplying the operating current with the specified rate of reduction. Use an insulated precision screwdriver to change the ON/OFF position of the motor standstill current setting switch (SW2-4).
