3-2 Overload Characteristics (Electronic
Thermal Function)
An overload protection function (electronic thermal) is built into the Servo Drive to protect the drive and
linear motor from overloading.
Overload protection will be activated according to the timing characteristic if the feedback value for the
force command exceeds the overload level.
Set the overload level in the Overload Detection Level Setting (3512 hex) and the timing characteristic
in the Motor Overload Curve Selection (3929 hex), respectively. Be sure that these settings conform to
the environment in which the Servo Drive is used.
If an overload does occur, first eliminate the cause of the error and then wait at least 1 minute for the
motor temperature to drop before turning ON the power again.
If the error reset is repeated at short intervals, the motor may burn out.
The following graphs show the motor overload characteristic curves that can be selected in the Motor
Overload Curve Selection (3929 hex), where the horizontal axis represents the load ratio and the
vertical axis represents electronic thermal operation time.
