Operating Manual dryve D1, ST-, DC-, EC/BLDC-Motor Control System - V2.4
5.4.7 Brake
If a load is to be held in position without any Motor Current applied, the dryve D1 can control a holding brake.
Setting
Description
Eco-Mode
Function which causes the brake to be applied and the Holding Current to be switched off
whenever a movement is stopped. This can reduce the thermal load on the motor and save
electrical energy.
ECO Delay
Indicates the delay in milliseconds which must pass until the ECO-Mode is activated
Switching Delay
Indicates the time in milliseconds during which the motor is still supplied with current and
the brake has already been engaged. This function is needed to reliably achieve the holding
torque of the motor and brake.
NOTE
If a holding brake is mounted but not activated, malfunctions or component damage can occur
NOTE
The igus
®
motors with built-in brakes are designed as holding brakes. These brakes are only designed for holding the load in
position at a standstill and are not used to decelerate loads during a movement.
NOTE
The "ECO-Mode" is not recommended for Stepper Motors without an encoder.
It is not guaranteed that, after the brake has been applied and released, no step loss will occur. This might happen due to the
Motor Current being switched off and the rotor subsequently being realigned after a current is applied again.
1.
Deactivate the dryve D1 by revoking the DI 7 "Enable" signal (external signal or switch on the "Inputs/Outputs" page)
2.
Activate the "Brake" by setting the switch to "ON"
3.
If desired, the "Eco-Mode" can be activated by setting the switch to "ON"
4.
Enter different
“Off/On Delay” times if needed
