Overload Advance Notice Signal
When the output current exceeds a preset
value, the [OL] terminal signal turns ON.
The parameter C041 sets the overload
threshold. The overload detection circuit
operates during powered motor operation
and during regenerative braking. The
output circuits use open-collector
transistors, and are active low.

Function Name State Description
ON when output current is more than the set
threshold for the overload signal
03 OL Overload Advance
Notice Signal
OFF when output current is less than the set threshold
for the overload signal
Valid for inputs: 11, AL0 – AL2
Required settings C041
Notes:
x The default value is 100%. To change the level
from the default, set C041 (overload level).
x The accuracy of this function is the same as the
function of the output current monitor on the
[FM] terminal (see “Analog Output Operation”
on page 4–55).
x The example circuit for terminal [11] drives a
relay coil. Note the use of a diode to prevent the
negative-going turn-off spike generated by the
coil from damaging the inverter’s output
transistor.

configuration shown – see page 3-35):
