Forward current and reverse current can be controlled 100
independently. The forward current can be controlled
by giving a reverse voltage (0 to --9.0 V) between
SERVOPACK terminals 1CN-@ and @; the reverse cur-
rent can be controlled by a forward voltage (0 to
+9.0V) between terminals 1CN-@ and @. 0 (APPROX_3 6 9

6.3.3 Current Limit when Motor is Locked
and current limit values are shown in Fig. 6.7.
When locking a motor by applying a current limit, de-
termine a current limit value less than 70% of the
rated current of the motor. If the load condition re-
quires a current limit exceeding the rated motor cur-
rent, refer to Par. 6.5. (3), "Overload detection level"
and make sure to unlock the motor before reaching the
trip level.
Note that when the speed reference voltage is less
than tens or so millivolts (affected by setting of GAIN •
of VR4, VR6 and SW3), the motor lock current some-
times pulsates. If this is not desirable, the current pul-
sation can be removed by increasing the speed reference
voltage.
