Force Limit Switching
This function switches the force limit according to the movement direction, and depending on the
Positive Force Limit (PCL), the Negative Force Limit (NCL), and the Positive /Negative Force Limit Input
Commands from EtherCAT communications.
This function is useful in the following conditions.
•
When push-motion operation is performed.
•
When the force at startup and during deceleration should be suppressed to protect the
mechanical system, etc.
The Force Limit Selection (3521 hex) setting is used to select a method to switch the force limit.
The force limit switching function works under the following conditions.
*1
Read the word “torque” as “force” when using these objects.

3013 hex
Force Limit 1
Set the first force limit value of the motor output force.
The upper limit of the set value is restricted based on the
maximum force of the motor being connected.
3521 hex
Force Limit Selection
Set the force limit selection method.
3522 hex
Force Limit2
Set the second force limit value of the motor output force.
The upper limit of the set value is restricted based on the
maximum force of the motor being connected.
3525 hex
Force Limit3
Set the third force limit value of the motor output force.
The upper limit of the set value is restricted based on the
maximum force of the motor being connected.
3526 hex
Force Limit4
Set the fourth force limit value of the motor output force.
The upper limit of the set value is restricted based on the
maximum force of the motor being connected.
