6.4 coolStep
This section gives an overview of the coolStep related parameters. Please bear in mind that the figure only
shows one example for a drive. There are parameters which concern the configuration of the current.
Other parameters are there for velocity regulation and for time adjustment.
Figure 11 shows all the adjustment points for coolStep. It is necessary to identify and configure the
thresholds for current (I6, I7 and I183) and velocity (V182). Furthermore the stallGuard2 feature has to be
adjusted (SG170). It can also be enabled if needed (SG181).
The reduction or increasing of the current in the coolStep area (depending on the load) has to be configured
using parameters I169 and I171.
In this chapter only basic axis parameters are mentioned which concern coolStep and stallGuard2. The
complete list of axis parameters in chapter 4 contains further parameters which offer more configuration
options.

* The lower threshold of the coolStep™ current can be adjusted up to I6/4. Refer to parameter 168.
The current depends on
the load of the motor.
