Hi there,
I'm busy sorting out the power supply and current set resistors on my system, but have a query about the current that my motors should be set at. I have got G201 drives.
My motors are 220Ncm 8-wire motors with specs as follows (from the data sheet that came with the motors):
Voltage: 7.5V
Current: 2.5A/phase
Resistance: 3 ohm/phase
My question concerns the current rating of these motors. Is this current rating likely to be the maximum current for series or parallel connection? I am going to be connecting them up in parallel, but am unsure if my current should be set to 2.5A on the Gecko (if the maximum motor rating is for a parallel connection); or something higher than 2.5A, if this rating is for series connection?
I obviously don't want to fry a motor by setting the current too high, but I'd rather not set it too low either, and have too much unused potential in the system.
Thanks
Warren
