AC30 series General Purpose I/O Option 
Motor Thermistor (7004-01-00, 7004-02-00 and 
7004-03-00) 
The motor thermistor input provides a means of monitoring motor 
temperature in order to protect the motor from a potentially damaging high 
temperature. 
By default the drive will trip if the motor exceeds a user-defined 
temperature threshold thereby preventing the motor temperature from 
rising further. 
 
Connect motor thermistor between 
these two terminals. 
If thermistor is not required, 
connect these two terminals 
together, and ensure PTC 
thermistor is selected. 
Drive trips if thermistor 
resistance exceeds this 
trip level. 
Drive trips if thermistor 
resistance is less than 
this trip level. 
Drive trips if thermistor 
resistance exceeds this 
trip level.
