8.3 Velocity/Current Monitor Window
To monitor velocity/current, click Monitor and then select Velocity/Current from the main menu, or click
in the toolbar. In the select axis number window, select the axis number corresponding to the axis whose
velocity/current you want to monitor. (Refer to 4. Selecting an Axis.)
The software will start monitoring velocity/current when is clicked.

* The RCP, RCS and E-Con series do not support this function.
It is supported by the RCP2, ERC, ERC2, PCON, ACON, SCON, ROBONET, ASEP, PSEP,
DSEP and MSEP series.
(1) Current data display
[1] Current (command value) display (When the Rated current ratio checkbox is not selected)
The vertical axis represents current (command value) [mA], while the horizontal axis represents
elapsed time after the start of monitoring [100 msec].
* With the pulse motor type, the command value reflects the compensation for motor ripple. In other
words, the “Current (Command)” value may become greater than the “Rated current” value
depending on the motor type.
[2] Rated current ratio display (When the Rated current ratio checkbox is selected)
The vertical axis represents rated current ratio [%], while the horizontal axis represents elapsed time
after the start of monitoring [100 msec].
(2) Velocity data display
The vertical axis represents velocity [mm/s], while the horizontal axis represents elapsed time after the
start of monitoring [100 msec].
* Current data and velocity data are acquired from the controller at the intervals of approx. 100 msec.
(The data acquisition interval varies depending on the number of connected axes.)
Therefore, changes in current/velocity occurring within these intervals cannot be monitored accurately.
* Monitoring ends automatically as soon as the horizontal axis value reaches 65535.
