Setting the Braking Resistor Parameters

Description

An insufficiently rated braking resistor can cause overvoltage on the DC bus. Overvoltage on the DC bus causes the power stage to be disabled. The motor is no longer actively decelerated.

Warning_Color.gifWARNING

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

oVerify that the braking resistor has a sufficient rating by performing a test run under maximum load conditions.

oVerify that the parameter settings for the braking resistor are correct.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

The temperature of the braking resistor may exceed 250 °C (482 °F) during operation.

Warning_Color.gifWARNING

HOT SURFACES

oEnsure that it is not possible to make any contact with a hot braking resistor.

oDo not allow flammable or heat-sensitive parts in the immediate vicinity of the braking resistor.

oVerify that the heat dissipation is sufficient by performing a test run under maximum load conditions.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

If you use an external braking resistor, perform the following steps:

oSet the parameter RESint_ext to "External Braking Resistor".

oSet the parameters RESext_P, RESext_R and RESext_ton.

The maximum value of RESext_P and the minimum value of RESext_R depend on the power stage, see chapter External Braking Resistor.

See chapter Rating the Braking Resistor for additional information.

If the regenerated power becomes greater than the power that can be absorbed by the braking resistor, an error message is generated and the power stage is disabled.
