i950, i700 - Parameterise motor via motor catalogue: Query whether monitoring of motor utilisation (i?xt) should be deactivated (from V03.23.00 / V01.20.00)
Function extension:
i950, i700:
Until now, when parameterising the motor via the motor catalogue in the engineering tool, the monitoring of the motor load (i?xt) was automatically switched to deactivated.
In the factory setting, the i?xt monitoring is actually activated (reaction = fault).
Now it is up to the user to deactivate the i?xt monitoring of the motor if necessary or to leave the monitoring activated.
This avoids unnoticed and possibly unintended deactivation of the monitoring. Users usually assume that the monitoring is still parameterised in the factory setting if they have not changed it themselves.

PLC Designer: from V03.23.00
EASY Starter: from V01.20.00
Application:
Dynamic servo applications where the motors are to be operated with a large overcurrent (overcurrent factor) for a short time.
In these cases, it makes sense and is also recommended to monitor the motor load (i?xt) in addition to monitoring the motor temperature via the installed temperature sensors (PT1000, KTY, PTC,...) in the stator windings.
