6.2 Selecting Automatic Current Reduction Feature
When performing a complete stop in the positioning, the current flows in constant amount
(Note 1)
regardless of the size of the external force in a normal condition (without using the automatic
current reduction feature). Using the automatic current reduction feature enables to flow the
current considering the influence of the external force, that will be able to save the power
consumption when the transported load is small.
Note 1 Parameter No. 12 “Current Limit Value at Positioning Stop”
To enabled / disabled the automatic current reduction feature can be set in Parameter No. 182.
