 L6-11: Mechanical Weakening Detection Start Time
Sets the drives cumulative operation time at which Mechanical Weakening Detection is activated. If U4-01 reaches the
L6-11 value, the function is activated.
 L7: Torque Limit
The torque limit function can be used to limit the torque in each of the four quadrants individually and thereby protect the
machinery. It can be used in OLV, CLV, AOLV/PM, and CLV/PM control modes. The limit can be either set by
parameters or by analog inputs. A digital output programmed for “During torque limit” (H2-01, H2-02, H2-03 = 30) can
be switched when the drive is operating at the torque limit.

Setting Torque Limits
The torque limits are defined by parameters L7-01 to L7-04 for each of the four operation quadrants. Analog inputs can
also be used to either define a general limit for all operation conditions (H3-02, H3-06, H3-10 = 15) or for setting
separate limits for each operation condition (H3-02, H3-06, H3-10 = 10, 11, or 12). Figure 5.108 shows which of the
limit settings is applied in
each quadrant.
If two limit values are defined for the same operation
conditions, the drive will use the lower value.
Note: The maximum output torque is ultimately limited by the drive output current (max. 150% of drive rated current in HD, 120% in
ND). Output torque will not exceed the limit set for the drive rated current, even if the torque limits are set to higher values.
Example: If parameter L7-01 = 130%, L7-02 to L7-04 = 200%, and a general torque limit of 150% is set by an analog
input (H3-02, H3-06, H3-10 = 15), then the torque limit in quadrant 1 will be 130%, but 150% in all other quadrants.

 L7-01 to L7-04: Torque Limits
These parameters set the torque limits in each quadrant.
Note: If the multi-function analog input is programmed for “10: Forward torque limit”, “11: Reverse torque limit”, “12: Regenerative
torque limit”, or “15: General torque limit”, the drive uses the lower value in L7-01 through L7-04, or analog input torque limit.
 L7-06: Torque Limit Integral Time Constant
Sets the integral time constant for the torque limit function. Decrease this setting for faster torque limit response. Increase
it if oscillation occur when operating at the torque limit.
