Detecting Motor Torque
If an excessive load is applied to the machinery (overtorque) or the load suddenly drops (undertorque), you
can output an alarm signal to one of the multi-function output terminal M1-M2 or M3-M4.
To use the overtorque/undertorque detection function, set B or 17 (overtorque/undertorque detection NO/NC)
in one of the constant H2-01 and H2-02 (multi-function output terminals M1-M2 and M3-M4 function selec-
tion).
The overtorque/undertorque detection level is the current level taking the inverter rated output current as
100%.
