Electrical Motor Braking
Drive dynamic braking
Drive Dynamic braking is a method to slow down a servo system by dissipating the mechanical energy driven by the motor back EMF.
|
Drive dynamic braking is not functional safe. |
The drive has a built in advanced drive dynamic braking mode which operates fully in hardware. When activated, the drive powers the motor terminals with voltages to maximize the stopping force per amount of motor current. This advanced method forces all of the dynamic braking current to be stopping current and insures the fastest stopping per ampere of motor terminal current.
- When current is not being limited, the mechanical energy is being dissipated in the motor winding resistance.
- When current is being limited, energy is returned to the drive bus capacitors.
- The drive also limits the maximum dynamic braking motor terminal current by using the AXIS#.DBILIMIT parameter to insure that the drive, motor, and customer load do not see excessive currents/forces.
Whether and how the drive uses dynamic drive braking depends on AXIS#.DISMODE.
Regenerative braking
When the amount of returned energy from the motor builds the bus capacitor voltage up enough the drive activates the regenerative braking circuit to start dumping the returned energy in the regen resistor (also called regenerative resistor or brake resistor). The

Functional description
1. Individual drives, not coupled through the DC bus link circuit (+DC, -DC)
When the energy fed back from the motor has an average or peak power that exceeds the preset level for the brake power rating, the drive generates the warning "W2010 Regen Energy Critical”. If the power exceeds the set fault level, the regenerative circuit will switch off and the drive will disable.
2. Several drives coupled through the DC bus link (+DC, -DC)

Only with group installation |
Switch-off on over voltage: With the regenerative circuit switched off, the returned energy is not dissipated and therefore the DC-bus link level increases. The drive reports an over-voltage fault if the DC-bus voltage threshold is exceeded. When this happens, the drive power stage is immediately disabled and the load coasts to a stop with the fault message “F2006 Bus Over voltage".

Observe the regeneration time (some minutes) after full load with peak brake power. |
Technical data – 240V servo drives
Technical data for the regenerative circuit depends on the drive type and the mains voltage. Supply voltages, capacitance, and switch-on voltages are all nominal values.
