Overtemperature protection
Above a temperature of approx. 75 °C on the power board the power part of the controller switches off and the error bit is set (see objects 1001h and 1003h). After cooling down and confirming the error (see table for the controlword, "Fault reset"), the controller again functions normally.
The following temperature test results provide information on the temperature behavior of this controller.
- Operating voltage: 48 V DC
- Motor current: 6 A rms
- Operation mode: Velocity Mode, full step, 30 rpm
- Ambient temperature: 25 °C / 45 °C
- Altitude of site: 500 m above sea level
- No external cooling in the climatic chamber, e. g., via fan
Summary:
At 25°C (+48 V, 6 A rms, Velocity Mode 30 rpm), the controller was in operation for longer than 2 hours without having been switched off. The temperature was stable at approx. 62°C.
At 45°C (+48 V, 6 A rms, Velocity Mode 30 rpm), temperature protection switched off the controller in less than 2 minutes.
