Interrogation 
through 
PLC module
Module 9160 Status request of temperature monitoring and I
2
t 
monitoring
The I
2
t monitoring reported by the module is given with respect to the first I
2
t 
monitor response (power module or motor) if both I
2
t monitors are activated 
(MP_motFactorI2t and MP_ampFactorI2t). This early warning is withdrawn as 
soon as the limit for reset is reached. For the response behavior, see "Limit 
values" on page 969.
Constraints:
 Unconnected axes respond with all error bits as 0.
 The I²t monitoring responds when the current value exceeds 110% of the 
rated current.
 After an e-function, the current is limited to 110 % of I
noml
. The time 
constant for this is approx. 2.56 seconds.
 The response time for the I²t monitoring at 2 · I
noml
 without preload is 
approx. 2.1 seconds. With a nominal load hysteresis every 10 seconds the 
monitoring responds after approx. 200 ms.
 The message "I²t early warning" is set approx. 200 ms before limitation 
starts. The message "I²t monitoring" appears when limitation is activated.
 Only the I²t early warning is possible for the spindle axis.
