Example:
^THLD 1 : Set short circuit detection sensitivity to medium.
Note:
You should never disable the short circuit protection.
TNM - Motor Torque Constant
HexCode: DF
Description:
This configuration parameter sets the motor torque constant. It is a value with which we
can convert the current (A) to torque (NM) and vice versa. This value is in miliNm/Amps
and is usually referred in the motor datasheets. The conversion is used by the TC and TSL
commands and TRQ query.
Syntax Serial: ^TNM cc nn
~TNM cc
Syntax Scripting: setconfig(_TNM, cc, nn)
Number of Arguments: 2
Argument 1: Channel
Min: 1 Max: Total Number of Motors
Argument 2: Torque Constant Type: Signed 32-bit
Min: 0 Default: 1000 = 1Nm/Amps
Where:
cc = Motor channel
nn = Motor Torque Constant (miliNm/Amps)
Example:
^TNM 1 1523: Set torque constant for motor 1 to 1.523 Nm/Amps.
UVL - Undervoltage Limit
HexCode: 03
Description:
Sets the voltage below which the controller will turn off its power stage. The voltage is
entered as a desired voltage value multiplied by 10. Undervoltage condition is cleared as
soon as voltage rises above the limit.
Syntax Serial: ^UVL nn
