Abstract
A first and a second motor drive amplifiers connected to a motor drive power supply include a first and a second memories which store specifications of the amplifiers, respectively. A memory provided in a power supply unit stores an overcurrent detection value for detecting an overcurrent according to the specifications of the respective motor drive amplifiers. A microcontroller reads the specifications from the first and second memories, and integrates overcurrent detection values corresponding to the respective specifications. If a current sensor detects that a current exceeding a reference value calculated based on a set integrated value, the current sensor outputs an overcurrent detection signal.
