Table 5: Desired Current
To achieve the equivalent Driver Current (Amps), multiply your motor’s
rated current by 1.4. Follow these examples:
Example One:
You have a motor that is rated at 0.85 Amps, 0.85 Amps x 1.4 = ~1.2 Amps. Using
Table 5 we would see that 1.2 Amps is 40% of the driver’s maximum output current.
Assuming the R356 is addressed to Number 1, this is what you’d program: /
1m40R
Example Two:
You have a motor that is rated at 1.0 Amps, and your Controller is addressed to
Number 1, this is what you’d program:
/1m46R
This will set the controller to 1.4 Amps Peak. How did we get 1.4 Amps? Æ 1.0
Amps x 1.4 = 1.4 A Peak.
WARNING!: Setting the Current to a value greater than the Motor’s rated
current will damage your motor, and may overheat the controller.
