Rewind motor current
The CBW3 can measure the current used by the spring rewinding motor (usually a DC
motor) in order to notice any change over time, possibly highlighting additional friction in
the spring mechanism requiring more torque or a problem with the motor itself.
Both the mean (average) motor current and the maximum motor current (peak inrush
current) are recorded and displayed in the HMI:

Rewind current alarm
An alarm can be set on the maximum inrush current value of the motor by setting a “Max
threshold” value.

The alarm is displayed when the threshold has been reached or exceeded:
