Motor Current | Specifies the continuous current that is supplied to the motor
when the motor is moving. Valid values are 0.1…4.0 A | |||||||||
Hold Current % | Specifies the percentage of motor current to apply to maintain
holding torque while the axis is stationary. Valid values are 0…100% | |||||||||

following fields:
| |||||||||
Engineering Units per Revolution | Specifies the number of engineering units in one revolution. The
module uses this value to convert position, speed, and
acceleration parameters between revolutions and engineering
units. | |||||||||
Recalculate Units | When Engineering Units per Revolution is changed, use this button
to recalculate values automatically for these configuration
parameters:
