CL[N] - Current Continuous Limitations and
Motor Stuck Protection Parameters

Purpose:
Defines the continuous loading of the drive.

CL[1] defines the maximum allowed continuous motor phase current, in amperes.

This parameter is used to protect the motor from over-current, and the load from
excessive torques. The motor current (torque) command is normally limited to its
peak limit, as defined by PL[1]. After a short period of torque demands higher than
CL[1] (as defined by the PL[2] parameter and equations in the

SimplIQ for Steppers

Application Note), the torque command limit is decreased to CL[1]. The torque
command remains limited to CL[1] until the average torque demand falls below 90%
of CL[1] for a few seconds. CL[1] has no effect if CL[1] > PL[1].

CL[2] and CL[3] define how the motor stuck protection is handled. A stuck motor is a

motor that does not respond to the applied current command, due to failure of the
motor, the drive system or the motion sensor.
CL[2] defines the tested torque level as a percentage of continuous current limit CL[1].
CL[3] states the absolute threshold of the main sensor speed under which the motor is
considered to be not moving. If the motor is stuck, motion fault MF=2,097,152
(0x200,000) is set.
If CL[2] < 2, the motor stuck protection is not applied.
For other values of CL[2], the motor is disabled and MF is set to 0x200000 if the motor
current command level exceeds a selected level for more than 3 seconds, without the
result of a significant motor speed, as defined by CL[3].

Example:
If CL[2]=50 and CL[3]=500, the drive will abort (reset to MO=0) with motion fault
(MF) 0x200000 if the torque level is kept at least 50% of the continuous current, while
the absolute value of the shaft speed does not exceed 500 counts/sec for a continuous
3 seconds.
