Motor Temperature View

The motor temperature settings are located in the nested Motor Temperature view.

Element Description Command
Thermal Resistor Type

Select the type of thermal resistor.


  • This value is automatically set for Kollmorgen motors when Motor Autoset is set to 1.

AXIS#.MOTOR.RTYPE
Thermal Sensor Source

Set the source of the thermal sensor. This indicates whether the thermal sensor is connected to the drive through a direct wire connection or through a digital feedback channel.


  • This value is automatically set for Kollmorgen motors when Motor Autoset is set to 1.

Devices with a feedback use AXIS#.MOTOR.RSOURCE, while sensorless motors (type 2 or 10) use AXIS#.MOTOR.TEMPSOURCE.

AXIS#.MOTOR.RSOURCE or AXIS#.MOTOR.TEMPSOURCE
Actual Thermistor Value This field displays the motor temperature, which is represented as the resistance of the motor's PTC or NTC. AXIS#.MOTOR.TEMP
Fault Level

This field is used to configure the motor temperature fault level as a resistance threshold of the motor thermal sensor. A zero value prevents temperature faults from being reported.


  • This value is automatically set for Kollmorgen motors when Motor Autoset is set to 1.

AXIS#.MOTOR.TEMPFAULT
Warning Level

This field is used to set the motor temperature warning level as a resistance threshold of the motor's PTC. A zero value prevents any warning from being created.

AXIS#.MOTOR.TEMPWARN
Actual Motor Temperature If the motor has a thermistor with linear characteristics (AXIS#.MOTOR.RTYPE = 2 [KTY83-110], 3 [KTY84-130], 4 [PTC + KTY83-110], or 8 [PT1000]),), this field displays the measured motor temperature in degrees C. For other values of AXIS#.MOTOR.RTYPE this field is hidden. AXIS#.MOTOR.TEMPC
