Remark:
It may happen that, during a periodic movement (machine cycle), parameter K84 may temporarily
be overcome, and the integrator may not entirely be empty at the end of the cycle. In that case,
after several cycles, an
I2T ERROR
error (M64=4) is displayed. The cycle is then called an
unstable
cycle.
Caution:
All software protections described above cannot protect at 100% a motor against overheating;
calculation of the energy balance in the whole system is required to avoid overheating.
Thus, ETEL cannot be hold as responsible in case of system failure due to motor overheating.
The next example explains how to calculate parameters K83, K84, K85. Some information concerning the
system configuration has to be known.

Caution:
If a
2-phase
linear motor performs a
back and forth movement with very short strokes
, only
one phase will be used. Thus, thermal load will be concentrated on the half of the motor
surface. Take parameter K84, (value obtained with formula above) and
divide it by 2: K84
short_stroke = K84 / 2
.
