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 SensorClosedA sensor is a type of transducer that converts one type of energy into another for various purposes including measurement or information transfer Source

Set the source of the thermal sensorClosedA sensor is a type of transducer that converts one type of energy into another for various purposes including measurement or information transfer. 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
