0: Overtorque Detection Disabled 
1: At Speed Agree. Alarm only during 
overtorque detection, drive continues to run 
2: During Run. Alarm only during overtorque 
detection, drive continues to run. 
3: At Speed Agree. Fault, coast to stop, fault 
must be reset to continue operation. 
4: During Run. Fault, coast to stop, fault must 
be reset to continue operation. 
5: At Speed Agree. Alarm only, reset when drive 
stops, drive continues to run. 
6: During Run. Alarm only, reset when drive 
stops, drive continues to run. 
0 
S6-05 Overtorque Detection Level 1
: Sets the threshold above which an overtorque condition is detected. In vector 
control modes, set as a percentage of motor rated torque. In V/f control modes, set as a percentage of motor rated 
current. 
S6-06 Overtorque Detection Time 1
: Sets the time that the torque reference (vector control) or output current (V/f control) 
must surpass the level set to S6-05 before an Overload Condition is triggered.

It is possible to trigger one of the drive’s multi-function digital outputs when an overtorque condition occurs using the 
following settings:

Overtorque Detection 1 (N.O.)  Overtorque Detection 1 N.O.
If conditions for Overtorque Detection 1 arise, then the output relay will close. It will remain closed 
for the duration that "oL3" appears on the digital operator screen.

Overtorque Detection 1 (N.C.)  Overtorque Detection 1 N.C.
If conditions for Overtorque Detection 1 arise, then the output relay will open. It will remain open 
for the duration that "oL3" appears on the digital operator screen.

Overtorque Detection 2 (N.O.)  Overtorque Detection 2 N.O.
If conditions for Overtorque Detection 2 arise, then the output relay will close. It will remain closed 
for the duration that "oL4" appears on the digital operator screen.

Overtorque Detection 2 (N.C.)  Overtorque Detection 2 N.C.
If conditions for Overtorque Detection 2 arise, then the output relay will open. It will remain open 
for the duration that "oL4" appears on the digital operator screen. 
7.9 Overtravel Limit Function 
In the A1000 Crane Drive an Overtravel Limit Function has been implemented. On horizontal applications, it can prevent 
the cart/container from traveling past a predetermined location, and in hoisting applications it can prevent the load from 
being hoisted too high or too low. The function is controlled by multi-function digital inputs that can be programmed in the 
FWD or REV directions and as Normally Open (N.O.) or Normally Closed (N.C.) contacts. In the following table the 
Overtravel Limit settings for the H1- digital input parameters are shown.

Name  Message  Description 
31 
FWD Overtravel Limit (N.O.)  FWD Limit N.O. 
If the input relay is closed during FWD Run, then the Brake Release Command BR will open 
(causing the brake to clamp shut) and the motor will coast to stop. If the relay is closed while 
running in REV direction there is no change in drive operations. If the relay is closed and a FWD 
Run Command is entered, the drive will not run. 
32 
FWD Overtravel Limit (N.C.)  FWD Limit N.C. 
If the input relay is opened during FWD Run, then the Brake Release Command BR will open 
(causing the brake to clamp shut) and the motor will coast to stop. If the relay is opened while 
running in REV direction there is no change in drive operations. If the relay is opened and a FWD 
Run Command is entered, the drive will not run. 
33 
REV Overtravel Limit (N.O.)  REV Limit N.O. 
If the input relay is closed during REV Run, then the Brake Release Command BR will open 
(causing the brake to clamp shut) and the motor will coast to stop. If the relay is closed while 
running in FWD direction there is no change in drive operations. If the relay is closed and a REV 
Run Command is entered, the drive will not run. 
34 
REV Overtravel Limit (N.C.)  REV Limit N.C. 
If the input relay is opened during REV Run, then the Brake Release Command BR will open 
(causing the brake to clamp shut) and the motor will coast to stop. If the relay is opened while 
running in FWD direction there is no change in drive operations. If the relay is opened and a REV 
Run Command is entered, the drive will not run. 
7.10 Motor Switch Function 
The A1000 Crane Drive can operate two motors if an external sequence is used to switch between them. There are some 
limitations to the drive’s functions when driving the second motor, which are detailed in this section. The second motor 
can also only operate in V/f and Open Loop Vector (OLV) control modes, as there is no support for encoder feedback
