Notes
•
The settings of the second table use a lower current than the nominal current recommended in the
datasheet (that is why torque is reduced in most cases). It is possible to set a higher current but the
temperature may rise very quickly causing irreversible damages to the motor.
•
It is often possible to set the current to a close matching value by using the boost function. The idea is
then to set the current to a lower value and increase it up to 135% by using the PIN7 of the COMMAND
connector (see section 2.3.1 for more information). However, this solution is not direct and requires
controlling externally the boost function.
•
Also, when the current setting is not appropriated to the winding, please note that some motors may
offer a reduced operational speed because of their high back-EMF.
•
Generally speaking, the higher the voltage of the supply is, the more torque the motor will develop at
high speed.
