Specifications of the Dynamic Brake Resistor
Have the following specifications ready when purchasing the Dynamic Brake Resistor. In the
blank cells of the table, write down the specifications of the Dynamic Brake Resistor that you
are considering for purchase, and confirm these specifications with the manufacturer of the
Resistor.
5.2.3
Connecting Dynamic Brake Resistors
A connector or terminal block is used to wire a Dynamic Brake Resistor.
This section describes the connection of the Dynamic Brake Resistor to a SERVOPACK with a
built-in dynamic brake (SGD7S-1R9D to 170D).
Terminal Symbols and Terminal Names
Note: The SGD7S-210D to 370D are not equipped with a connection terminal for a Dynamic Brake Resistor.
