5.8.2 External Torque Limit
Use this function to limit torque by inputting a signal from the host controller at a specific times during
machine operation, such as forced stop or hold operations for robot workpieces.
(1) Input Signals
Note: 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 3.3.1 Input Signal Allocations
.
