Limiting Torque with Analog Inputs: H3-05, H3-09
The following two analog inputs that can be used to limit torque.
Multi-function analog input, terminal 16
Frequency reference (current), terminal 14
Use either or both of these inputs as needed with constants H3-05 and H3-09.

The above table shows only those settings related to the torque limit function.

Set the analog input terminal’s signal level, gain, and bias to match the actual input signal.

The factory settings for the input terminal’s signal level are as follows:
x
Terminal 16:
0 to 10 V (A 10 V input limits the torque to 100% of the motor’s rated torque.)
x
Terminal 14:
4 to 20 mA (A 20 mA input limits the torque to 100% of the motor’s rated torque.)
Figure 7.2 shows the relationship between the output torque and each torque limit.

Limiting Torque with Analog Inputs
D
When the forward torque limit has been set, the analog input signal acts as the limit value for torque
generated in the forward direction. The torque limit input is effective when torque is generated in the
forward direction even if the motor is operating in reverse (regenerative torque).
D
The torque limit is 100% of the motor’s rated torque when the analog input is at its maximum value
(10 V or 20 mA). To increase the torque limit above 100%, set the input terminal’s gain above 100%.
For example, a gain of 150.0% would result in a torque limit of 150% of the motor’s rated torque with
a 10 V or 20 mA analog input.
