The requirement is that if we give very litttle torque set point & try toblock the shaft it should completely standstill whereas it give jerks of high torque & try to move the motor & ultimately it breaks the material pl. give expert opinion as it is a real headache to run MM440 in torque mode

To get around this it is possible to fix the frequency to the motor at say 40 Hz, and vary the Voltage applied to the motor. This provides variable V/F control, which is a Torque Control method. Set: P1300 = 19, v/f control with independant Voltage setpoint. P1330 = 755:1, analogue input 2 is now setting the Voltage setpoint. Use analogue input 1 to set the operating frequency at say 40Hz, leave it a suitable setting. Analogue input 2 is now setting the Torque. Experiment with this to see if this is a better method, this can now only be prooved by experimenting with your system. Also, be aware of the motor temperature, and ensure this it remains stable. The motor fan cannot now remove the heat if it is stationary for a period of time. Good ~~Luck~~ Experimenting; this is the Empirical method..........
