I2t Motor overload protection Description Note: For stepper motors, only the rated current is specified, not a maximum current. No liability is therefore assumed when using I2t with stepper motors. The goal of I2t motor overload protection is to protect the motor from damage and, at the same time, operate it normally up to its thermal limit. This function is only available if the controller is in the closed loop mode (bit 0 of object 3202h must be set to "1"). Object entries The following objects affect I2t motor overload protection: 2031h: Max Motor Current – specifies the maximum permissible motor current in mA. 203Bh:1h Motor Rated Current – specifies the rated current in mA. 6073h Max Current – specifies the maximum current in tenths of a percent of the set rated current. 203Bh:2h Maximum Duration Of Peak Current – specifies the maximum duration of the maximum current in ms. The following objects indicate the current state of I2t: 203Bh:3h Threshold – specifies the limit in A2ms that determines whether the maximum current or rated current is switched to. 203Bh:4h CalcValue – specifies the calculated value in A2ms that is compared with the threshold for setting the current. 203Bh:5h LimitedCurrent – shows the momentary current value in mA that was set by I2t. 203Bh:6h Status: Value = "0": I2t deactivated Value = "1": I2t activated Activation Closed loop must be activated, (bit 0 of object 3202h set to "1", see also chapter Closed Loop). To activate the mode, you must appropriately specify the four object entries mentioned above (2031h, 6073h, 203Bh:1h, 203Bh:2h). This means that the maximum current must be greater than the rated current and a time value for the maximum duration of the maximum current must be entered. If these conditions are not met, the I2t functionality remains deactivated. Function of I2t From the specification of rated current, maximum current and maximum duration of the maximum current, an I2tLim is calculated. The motor can run with maximum current until the calculated I2tLim is reached. The current is then immediately reduced to the rated current. The maximum current is limited by the maximum motor current (2031h). The relationships are illustrated again in the following diagrams. In the first section, t1, the current value is higher than the rated current. At time t1Lim, I2tLim is reached and the current is limited to the rated current. A current that corresponds to the maximum current then occurs for a period of time t2. Hence, the value for I2tLim is reached more quickly than in time t1.
