(4) Observing the motor current
You can observe an instantaneous motor current value by
observing the voltage across a reference voltage (0 V) check pin
and a motor current check pin with an oscilloscope. Note that you
cannot use a device such as a multimeter to observe correct
values.
(Instantaneous motor current value) = (voltage at motor current
check pin) × (factor for calculating motor current)
Calculation example:
When the voltage at a motor current check pin is 3.2 V, and
the factor for calculation is 3 A/V:
Actual motor current (A) = 3.2 V × 3 A/V = 9.6 A

SVM not listed in the above table can be obtained
from the model name of the servo amplifier as
follows:
Factor for calculating the motor current = (limit of
instantaneous motor current value) ÷ 4 V
