Operating Functions
5-8 Torque Limit
 This function limits the output torque of the Servomotor.
 This function is effective in the following cases:
Pressing a moving part of a machine (such as a bending machine) against a workpiece with a 
constant force.
Protecting the Servomotor and mechanical system from excessive force or torque.
 The Warning Output Selection (Pn09) can be set to output an alarm to the Warning Output 
(WARN) when the torque limit function is enabled.   
 Two torque limits can be set and you can switch between them. To switch the torque limit setting, 
enable the Torque Limit Switch Input (TLSEL) in the Zero Speed Designation/Torque Limit Switch 
(Pn06). 
Parameters Requiring Setting
*1. Values exceeding the default setting cannot be set. The default setting depends on the combination of the 
Servomotor and Servo Drive.
*2. The Overspeed Detection Level Setting (Pn70) will function only when torque limit switching function is enabled.
Related Parameters
The following parameters must be set to use torque limit switching function.
*1. Values exceeding the default setting cannot be set. The default setting depends on the combination of Servomotor 
and Servo Drive.
*2. The No. 2 Overspeed Detection Level Setting (Pn73) will function only when torque limit switching function is 
enabled.
