Can I check the motor temperature of the AZ Series?
The motor temperature can be checked using 'Status Monitor' in the support software MEXE02.
The motor temperature is measured by the ABZO sensor inside the motor. To protect the ABZO sensor, a motor overheat alarm is output if the detected temperature rises above 85 °C.
Note that the information function can be used to change the detection temperature setting. Use the parameter 'Motor temperature information (INFO-MTRTMP) [°C]' in the MEXE02 parameter 'ETO & Alarm & Info' to make the setting.
Can I combine my current induction motor (or reversible motor) with a speed control pack for speed control?
Induction motors and reversible motors are not possible. Speed control packs require an AC speed control motor with a built-in rate generator. The speed control pack uses feedback from the rate generator to detect the rotational speed and control the motor output.
Is there a way to check whether the main power is on in the AZ Series?
The main power is switched on if the red LED on the 'CHARGE' on the driver surface is illuminated. The LED may remain on for 5-10 minutes after the mains power is switched off, but will turn off when the internal residual voltage drops to a safe level.
Note that the MPS output can be used to check whether the main power is reliably switched on. The MPS output is switched on while the main power is switched on. The MPS outputs are not assigned by default, so the signal assignment must be changed. Use the support software MEXE02 to change the signal assignment.
Is it possible to change the motor cable outlet direction with electric linear slides?
It is possible to change the direction. Note, however, that this depends on the series and type. Please confirm details in the operating manual of each product. For some series the direction cannot be changed.
In the AZ Series, can two items be set in the reflection trigger for direct data operation?
One item can be set, but not two items. To set two or more multiple items, such as position and speed, the method is to rewrite all items at once.
Can the AC axial fans of the MRS Series be rotated in reverse?
This is not recommended as the fan blades are not designed for reversing.
Reversing is possible by changing the wiring, but blade efficiency is significantly reduced and the following problems may occur.
- The life of the winding is significantly affected by the temperature rise of the winding. In addition, the thermal protector may be activated.
- The blade fastening is designed in the normal direction of rotation. Reverse rotation may cause loosening of screws etc., resulting in a serious accident.
Can single-phase motors be driven by inverters?
No. Inverters are designed for three-phase motors.
Single-phase motors differ from three-phase motors in their operating principle and use a capacitor. Connecting a single-phase motor to the secondary side (output side) of the inverter may cause the capacitor to overheat or be damaged due to harmonic components.
