CIP Axis Attributes

No explicit action is taken by the device in the overload condition if None is the
selected overload action. Selecting the Current Foldback action, however, results
in a reduction of the inverter current in proportion to the percentage difference
between Inverter Capacity and the Inverter Overload Limit, or in the case of the
I
2
T overload protection method, in proportion to the difference between the
inverter current, in percent of rated continuous inverter current, and the Inverter
Overload Limit.
If an inverter overload condition occurs due to the power block thermal model,
two additional overload actions can be applied. Selecting Reduce PWM Rate can
be used to reduce heat generated by switching losses in the inverter power
structure. When PWM - Foldback is selected the device first reduces the PWM
rate and then, if necessary, reduces the Inverter Thermal Current Limit.

Thermal Model motor overload protection applies the measured motor current to
an internal motor thermal model to detect a motor overload condition.
