4.4.2 External Torque Limit
Use this function to limit torque by inputting a signal from the host controller at specific times during machine
operation. For example, some pressure must continually be applied (but not enough to damage the workpiece)
when the robot is holding a workpiece or when a device is stopping on contact.
(1) Input Signals
Use the following input signals to limit a torque by external torque limit.
Note 1. When using external torque limit, make sure that there are no other signals allocated to the same terminals as /P-
CL and /N-CL. When multiple signals are allocated to the same terminal, the signals are handled with OR logic,
which affects the ON/OFF state of the other signals. Refer to 3.4.1 Input Signal Allocations.
2. Use parameter Pn50B.2 and Pn50B.3 to allocate the /P-CL signal and the /N-CL signal for use. For details, refer
to 3.4.1 Input Signal Allocations.
(2) Related Parameters
Set the following parameters for external torque limit.
The setting unit is a percentage of the rated torque.
Note: If the settings of Pn402, Pn403, Pn404, and Pn405 are too low, the torque may be insufficient for acceleration or
deceleration of the servomotor.
