See also:
CC, PN commands
Specifies the maximum current that can be sent to the motor. This is the same value set in ST Configurator’s
Custom Motor screen for Rated Current.
This value serves as the upper ceiling for the CC command, preventing excessive current from being sent to the
motor, potentially damaging it. It is also used when the motor is probed to determine its electrical characteristics
(see PN command for details).
