Configs that directly affect current limiting features.

Contains the supply/stator current limit thresholds and whether to enable them.

  • Field Details

    • StatorCurrentLimit

      public double StatorCurrentLimit
      The amount of current allowed in the motor (motoring and regen current). Note this requires StatorCurrentLimitEnable to be true.

      This is only applicable for non-torque current control modes. For torque current control, set the PeakForwardTorqueCurrent and PeakReverseTorqueCurrent in TorqueCurrentConfigs instead.

      Stator current is directly proportional to torque, so this limit can be used to restrict the torque output of the motor, such as preventing wheel slip for a drivetrain. Additionally, stator current limits can prevent brownouts during acceleration; supply current will never exceed the stator current limit and is often significantly lower than stator current.

      A reasonable starting point for a stator current limit is 120 A, with values commonly ranging from 80-160 A. Mechanisms with a hard stop may need a smaller limit to reduce the torque applied when running into the hard stop.

      • Minimum Value: 0.0
      • Maximum Value: 800.0
      • Default Value: 0
      • Units: A
    • StatorCurrentLimitEnable

      public boolean StatorCurrentLimitEnable
      Enable motor stator current limiting.
      • Default Value: False
    • SupplyCurrentLimit

      public double SupplyCurrentLimit
      The amount of supply current allowed. Note this requires SupplyCurrentLimitEnable to be true. Use SupplyCurrentThreshold and SupplyTimeThreshold to allow brief periods of high-current before limiting occurs.

      This is only applicable for non-torque current control modes. For torque current control, set the PeakForwardTorqueCurrent and PeakReverseTorqueCurrent in TorqueCurrentConfigs instead.

      Supply current is the current drawn from the battery, so this limit can be used to prevent breaker trips and improve battery longevity. Additionally, in the rare case where the robot experiences brownouts despite configuring stator current limits, a supply current limit can further help avoid brownouts. However, such brownouts are most commonly caused by a bad battery or poor power wiring.

      A reasonable starting point for a supply current limit is 60 A with a threshold of 80 A for 0.1 seconds. Supply current limits commonly range from 20-80 A depending on the breaker used.

      • Minimum Value: 0.0
      • Maximum Value: 800.0
      • Default Value: 0
      • Units: A
    • SupplyCurrentLimitEnable

      public boolean SupplyCurrentLimitEnable
      Enable motor supply current limiting.
      • Default Value: False
    • SupplyCurrentThreshold

      public double SupplyCurrentThreshold
      Delay supply current limiting until current exceeds this threshold for longer than SupplyTimeThreshold. This allows current draws above SupplyCurrentLimit for a fixed period of time. This has no effect if SupplyCurrentLimit is greater than this value.
      • Minimum Value: 0.0
      • Maximum Value: 511
      • Default Value: 0
      • Units: A
    • SupplyTimeThreshold

      public double SupplyTimeThreshold
      Allows unlimited current for a period of time before current limiting occurs. Current threshold is the maximum of SupplyCurrentThreshold and SupplyCurrentLimit.
      • Minimum Value: 0.0
      • Maximum Value: 1.275
      • Default Value: 0
      • Units: sec
