Can Someone tell me how to tell what the motor current is set to on a DC3IO 040914 motor drive? The user guide says it depends on the number of winding on the current sensor but it doesn't provide any details about how many windings correspond with the current setting. I am upgrading motors and want to make sure the motor drive can handle the new motors that are picked out.
Thanks

Re: DC3IO 040914 Motor Current
Please post a picture of the current sensors on the drive and I'll be able to help you out. You should be able to get one from the side without removing the cover. Here is a sample picture so you can see what you're looking for.
I'll ask if I can post the table here for future reference.
I would also recommend checking if they are all the same number of turns. I'll ask if I can post the table here for future reference.

Re: DC3IO 040914 Motor Current
3T = 15A
4T = 12A
5T = 9A
There is a sticker (if it didn't fall off) that says something like 3-4T. 3-4T means 3 axes, each with 4 turns. DC3IO is most often 3-4T or 3-3T.

That's exactly what I needed thanks for your help.
