4-4-1 Calculating the Regenerative Energy
The average regeneration power (Pr)
is the regeneration power produced in 1 cycle of operation [W].
• In the output torque graph, acceleration in the forward direction (rising) is shown as positive, and
acceleration in the reverse direction (falling) is shown as negative.
• The regenerative energy values in each region can be derived from the following equations.
Note Due to the loss of winding resistance, the actual regenerative energy will be approx. 90% of the values
derived from these equations.
• For Servo Drive models with internal capacitors used for absorbing regenerative energy (i.e., Servo
Drive models of 400 W or less), the values Eg

and Eg

(unit: J) must be lower than the drive's
regeneration absorption capacity. (The capacity depends on the model. For details, refer to the next
section.)
• For
Servo Drive models with an Internal Regeneration Resistor used for absorbing regenerative
energy (i.e., Servo Drive models of 500 W or more), the average amount of regeneration Pr (unit: W)
must be calculated, and this value must be lower than the drive's regeneration absorption capacity.
(The capacity depends on the model. For details, refer to the next section.)
The average regeneration power (Pr)
is the regeneration power produced in 1 cycle of operation [W].
