Host Command Reference
PC - Power-up Current
Compatibility: All drives
Affects:
Motor current and torque
See also: CC, PI, PP commands
If using a stepper drive, PC sets or requests the continuous (RMS) current setting of the servo drive. If using
a servo drive, PC sets or requests the current setting (“peak of sine”) of the stepper drive, also known as the
running current.
NOTE: This command is similar to CC. It differs only in that in addition to setting the continuous current of the
drive, PC also immediately saves the setting to NV memory. See CC command for further details.
Command Details:
Structure PC{Parameter #1}
Type BUFFERED
Usage READ/WRITE
Non-Volatile Yes (see note below)
Register Access “N” (030)
Note: The PC and CC commands use different units than
the “N” register; see Data Registers section for details
