A.3.2.3 Torque settings
The FBs MC_SetTorqueLimit and MC_MoveToEndPos (not with detection based
on following error) can be used to reduce the torque of the drive motor. The torque
is specified in N/m. The reference torque of the motor is set in the
"TypeOfAxis.SetPointDriverInfo.DriveData.maxTorque" configuration data.
Percentage of reduction
To override the absolute value with a torque reduction percentage, set the
reference torque to 100.0 N/m:
Configuration data: TypeOfAxis.SetPointDriverInfo.DriveData.maxTorque = 100.0
N/m
When you set the parameter MaxTorque = 25.0 at the call of MC_SetTorqueLimit,
the maximum torque of the motor is reduced to 25 %.
Load conversion
The motor torque can be converted into a load torque value, while making
allowances for the gear load and spindle gradients. There is no allowance made for
frictional losses in the following.
