Motor Stall Detection

This feature allows for Motor Stall recognition without using an external sensor, such as an incremental encoder or absolute encoder. To enable ‘Motor Stall’ feature, set bit#13 of Drive_Working_Settings_Extended object.

The Closed Loop feature (bit#4 of Drive_Working_Settings object) and ‘Motor Stall detection’ feature (bit#13 of Drive_Working_Settings_Extended object) cannot be active at the same time. Enabling the Closed Loop feature when ‘Motor Stall detection’ feature is already enabled or vice versa will issue a Fault condition (bit#14 of Feedback_Status object will set to 1).

The Motor Stall detection compares the theoretical angle and estimated angle of motor rotor position:

If  abs(Motor_Stall_Actual_Err_Angle)  > Motor_Stall_Max_Err_Angle then ‘Motor Stall detected’ !!

When the motor stall is detected:

  1. the motor is stopped immediately.

  2. Min_Current object value is applied to the motor.

  3. Bit#10 (Motor_Stall_detected) of Feedback_Status object is set to 1.

  4. A Emergency Telegram will be sent and the drive will enter Fault State.
