4.8.8
Speed Limit Detection Signal (/VLT)
This function limits the speed of the servomotor to protect the machine.
A servomotor in torque control is controlled to output the specified torque, but the motor speed is not con-
trolled. Therefore, if an excessive reference torque is set for the load torque on the machinery side, the speed
of the servomotor may increase greatly. If that may occur, use this function to limit the speed.
Note: The actual limit value of motor speed depends on the load conditions of the servomotor.
The parameters related to the speed limit, such as for selecting the speed limit method, are described next.
(1) Signals Output during Servomotor Speed Limit
The following signal is output when the motor speed reaches the limit speed.
Note: Use parameter Pn50F.1 to allocate the /VLT signal for use. For details, refer to
3.3.2 Output Signal Allocations
.
(2) Speed Limit Setting
Select the speed limit mode with Pn002.1.
