Reduction Current

Command

<axis> RDC <percentage>

Description

Set Reduction Current To Percentage establishes the motor current when the motor is not moving. This is a percentage of the maximum current set with the Set Max Current command. If the motor is in tracking mode and Variable Current Mode is active then the motor current may reduce to less than the reduction current if the rotor is holding position and more current is not needed. When the move begins moving, the motor current will transition from the Reduction Current to the Run Current. If it is desired for the current to not be reduced then set the reduction current percentage equal to the run current percentage.

Escapes

Set Reduction Current To Percentage will not produce an escapecode. If the value is outside the bounds of 0 to 100 percent it will saturate to be within those bounds.
