Appendix D Motor Control Feature Support
Motor Overload Retention The motor overload retention feature protects the motor if there is a drive
power-cycle, in which the motor thermal state is lost.
With motor overload retention, upon drive power-up, the MotorCapacity
attribute initially reads:
• 20% if the motor is configured to use an integral thermal switch or an
integral motor winding temperature is available
• 50% if the motor is not configured to use an integral thermal switch or an
integral motor winding temperature is not available
If you have a separate monitoring algorithm within your Logix 5000®
controller, you can use the InitialMotorCapacity attribute (3075)
10
or (C03)
16
to
change the initial MotorCapacity value that the motor overload retention
feature populates.
• You can write to the InitialMotorCapacity attribute only in the Stopped
state after power-up
• You cannot write to the InitialMotorCapacity attribute after the first
time the axis is enabled following a power cycle.
Use a message instruction to write to the InitialMotorCapacity value.
In this example, the source element tag motorcapacity is a REAL data type.
