R101 Single Axis Driver/Indexer Manual

May 31, 2005

RI

Run Current<value>

Command or Query 200 to 2500.

Sets the motor Phase Current for any form of motion in 100mA increments.

200 = 200mA (0.2 Amp)
2500 = 2500mA (2.5 Amp)

The set ‘Run Current’ is maintained for a time set by ‘Hold Timeout’ (HT) before

dropping to the current set by ‘Hold Current’ (HI)

Command Example

#ARI1000<cr><lf> Sets the run current to 1000mA (1 Amp).

Default value is 1000
