erative energy absorption capacity. (The capacity varies depending on the model. For details, refer to
3-3-2 Servo Driver Regenerative Energy Absorption Capacity.)
• For Servo Driver models with internal regeneration resistance for absorbing regenerative energy (i.e.,
models of 500 W or more), the average amount of regeneration P
r
(unit: W) must be calculated, and
this value must be lower than the Servo Driver’s regenerative energy absorption capacity. (The capac-
ity varies depending on the model. For details, refer to 3-3-2 Servo Driver Regenerative Energy Ab-
sorption Capacity.)
The average amount of regeneration (P
r
) is the power consumed by regeneration resistance in one
cycle of operation.

Note There is some loss due to winding resistance, so the actual regenerative energy will be approxi-
