ExternalFaultThreshold Parameter

Default Value: 0.0

Minimum Value: -10.0

Maximum Value: 10.0

Units: volts

Type: float

IMPORTANT: The controller generates an axis fault only if you set the corresponding bit in the FaultMask Parameter. When an axis fault is generated, you can configure what the axis does by changing the state of the corresponding bit in the FaultMaskDecel Parameter, the FaultMaskDisable Parameter, and the FaultMaskDisableDelay Parameter.

The ExternalFaultThreshold parameter specifies the maximum voltage that is permitted on the analog input that is specified by the ExternalFaultAnalogInput parameter. When the value of the specified analog input is greater than the value specified for this parameter, the controller generates an external fault.

The controller can also generate an external fault based on a digital input. To configure this fault, use the ExternalFaultDigitalInput Parameter. When the External Fault bit is set in the FaultMask Parameter, the analog input specified by the ExternalFaultAnalogInput and the digital input specified by the ExternalFaultDigitalInput are monitored to generate an external fault.
