[0002] Currently available motor current safety monitoring circuits are generally integrated current monitoring systems for servo motors, and the software can retrieve this value via commands. Another option might be to use a resettable fuse, which trips when the detected current exceeds the limit.

[0003] For example, the invention patent CN104078922B discloses a short-circuit protection device, which includes a first terminal, a second terminal, a third terminal, and a fourth terminal; a first voltage stabilizing element disposed between the first terminal and the second terminal; and a first disconnecting device disposed between the second terminal and the third terminal. The first disconnecting device is configured to disconnect when the current flowing through it exceeds a predetermined first current threshold. The first disconnecting device is a fuse or a self-resetting circuit protection element.

[0004] This solution can only trigger protection when the limit is reached, and cannot monitor the current in real time. However, retrieving the servo motor's current value through software has drawbacks such as high cost, software dependence, and poor real-time response.
