Voltage reduction mechanism
After a brake-specific overexcitation time period, the intelli-
gent automatic voltage mechanism mode adjusts to the pre-
set holding voltage. Manual adjustment of the overexcitation
time is not necessary.
Continuous drop-out recognition
The continuous drop-out recognition can detect the follow-
ing situation and signal it via the outputs:
Brake is energised --> Undesired movement of the armature
disk for closing the brake (drop-out of the armature disk).
Changes of the output signals:
Control terminal 16:
OUT (24 VDC) --> 0 VDC
Control terminal 15:
ERR (24 VDC) --> 0 VDC
Possible Causes
• Excessive temperature
• Marginal dimensioning
• Mechanical influences
Release monitoring
The release monitoring recognises the movement of the ar-
mature disk for opening the brake after switch-on as well
as the movement of the armature disk for closing the brake
after switch-off.
The release monitoring can be deactivated for certain appli-
cations in order to prevent errors.
Possible applications:
•
Parallel operation of several brakes
•
Damped brakes
•
Unspecific brakes
Switch-OFF
Fast switch-off
If short engagement times are desired, fast switching should
be used (FAST).
Here, the ROBA
®
-brake-checker monitoring module limits
the switch-off voltage to approx. 60 VDC.
DC-side disconnection is signalized by the red light-emitting
diode flashing at the moment of switch-off.
Optional (customer-side)
External fast switch off
An electrical and secure disconnection of the brake can
be guaranteed by the use of an external switch (see wiring
example).
Slow switch-off
If longer engagement times or
quieter switching noises
are desired, slow switching should be used (SLOW) (factory
setting).
Switch-ON
Brake switch-on occurs with a connected supply voltage
(control
and power terminal) by closing start (Input) on the
signal side using the voltage 24 VDC
or a 24 VDC control
signal applied there. A green light-emitting diode emits a
signal when the device is switched on. After the changeover
from overexcitation voltage to holding voltage, the diode
continues to illuminate at reduced brightness.
Functional Guidelines
Start process
During each individual start process, all outputs (signal,
error, warning) are reset.
The outputs must be assessed for the plausibility of signal
conditions, signal changes and their correct temporal
sequence.
Inching Mode
During inching mode (fast sequence of switching on and
off), no reliable detection is possible.
After the end of inching mode, restart the monitoring
function:
• De-energise the brake
• Switch on (energise) the brake again
Repeated switch-on (energisation) before the brake is closed
generates a fault when the maximum current is reached.
