Software Setup and Operation
decel time could cause following error faults (“F”) or continuous torque exceeded (“1”)
faults. The default is 8 ms. Minimum Accel and Decel Times can be set higher than 8 ms but
never lower.
Maximum Torque Output
This parameter limits the amount of torque the drive produces. The drive’s peak torque rating
is 200 percent and the continuous torque rating is 100 percent. Peak torque is only available
for short periods. (see “Troubleshooting” on page 145).
Distance Limit + and Distance Limit -
This parameter limits the minimum and maximum value that can be entered into an index
distance. For example: If you set the Distance Limit + to 50.000, and the Distance Limit - to
-48.000, the Index Distance must be within -48.000 and 50.000.
When the + and - limit values are set to [phone] and -2147483648, respectively, the
limits are disabled.
Travel Limit Position + and Travel Limit Position -
The + and - software travel limits set the motor’s minimum and maximum position range.
For example:
If you set the Travel Limit Position + to 50.000, and the Travel Limit Position - to -48.000,
index and jog moves can only be moved within this absolute positional range. If you cause
the motor to go beyond travel limits (hardware or software), the FX drive will fault, causing
the motor to stop and display an “L” on the diagnostics display.
If the - and + values are set to zero, the software travel limits are disabled.
Software travel limits are not active until a home is successfully completed.
Travel Limits and Fault Decel Time
Used to set the deceleration rate after any fault occurs, or a travel limit (hardware or software)
is tripped. This parameter is completely separate and independent of Stop/Hold Decel Time.
Failure to follow safe installation guidelines can cause death or serious injury. If a motor
is traveling at high speed and exceeds a hardware or software travel limit, the FX drive
will bring the motor (and its actuator) to a stop within the time you enter here as calculated
in the note below. Be sure your placement of travel limit switches and the value entered
