Motor Configurations
Advanced Digital Motor Controller User Manual 313
Description:
This is the maximum Amps that the controller will be allowed to deliver to a motor regard-
less the load of that motor. The value is entered in Amps multiplied by 10. The value is the
Amps that are measured at the motor and not the Amps measured from a battery. When
the motor draws current that is above that limit, the controller will automatically reduce
the output power until the current drops below that limit.
Syntax Serial: ^ALIM cc nn
~ALIM [cc]
Syntax Scripting: setconfig(_ALIM, cc, nn)
Number of Arguments: 2
Argument 1: Channel
Min: 1 Max: Total Number of Motors
Argument 2: Limit
Type: Unsigned 16-bit
Min: 10 Max: Max Amps in datasheet
Default: See note
Where:
cc = Motor channel
nn = Amps *10
Example:
^ALIM1 455: Set Amp limit for Motor 1 to 45.5A
Note:
Default value is typically set to 75% of the controller’s max amps as defined in the data-
sheet
ATGA - Amps Trigger Action
HexCode: 2C
Description:
This parameter sets what action to take when the Amps trigger is activated. The list is the
same as in the DINA digital input actions. Typical use for that feature is as a limit switch
when, for example, a motor reaches an end and enters stall condition, the current will
rise, and that current increase can be detected and the motor be made to stop until the
direction is reversed. Embedded in the parameter is the motor channel(s) to which the
action should apply.
