Module 9158 Maximum torque
With Module 9158 you can limit the torque of an axis or spindle. The maximum 
torque resulting from the data in the control's motor table cannot be 
exceeded. In this case the torque is limited to the value from the motor 
specifications. After the drive is switched off, the original torque becomes 
effective again.
If torque limiting is active, the standstill monitoring is inactive; only the motion 
monitoring remains active.
The torque-producing current required for the desired torque must be 
transferred to the module:

If Module 9158 is used, then certain monitoring functions regarding the 
drives must be switched off. Please note the following error messages and 
their possible consequences (see DSP error messages)
 C380 Motor <axis> not controllable
 C3B0 Motor <axis> does not rotate
If you are using a CC 422 controller unit, then please note that the current 
values in the oscilloscope are all peak values (and not effective values as 
with the CC 424). Measured values then appear greater by a factor of the 
square root of 2 than the calculated values.
