3-step sequence
1.
Pre-magnetize the motor
In order to ensure that there is a hold on the motor, and to verify that it is mounted correctly, the motor is first pre-magnetized.
2.
Apply torque against the closed brake
When the load is held by the mechanical brake, its size cannot be determined, only its direction. The moment the brake opens, the load must
be taken over by the motor. To facilitate the takeover, a user defined torque, set in par. 2-26
Torque Ref
, is applied in hoisting direction. This
will be used to initialize the speed controller that will finally take over the load. In order to reduce wear on the gearbox due to backlash, the
torque is ramped up.
3.
Release brake
When the torque reaches the value set in par. 2-26
Torque Ref
, the brake is released. The value set in par. 2-25
Brake Release Time
determines
the delay before the load is released. In order to react as quickly as possible on the load-step that follows upon brake release, the speed-PID
control can be boosted by increasing the proportional gain.

I)
Activate brake delay:
The adjustable frequency drive starts again from the
mechanical brake engaged
position.
II)
Stop delay
: When the time between successive starts is shorter than the setting in par. 2-24
Stop Delay
, the adjustable frequency drive
starts without applying the mechanical brake (e.g., reversing).
NOTE!
For an example of advanced mechanical brake control for hoisting applications, see section
Application Examples
3.9.3 Brake Resistor Cabling
EMC (twisted cables/shielding)
To reduce the electrical noise from the wires between the brake resistor and the adjustable frequency drive, the wires must be twisted.
For enhanced EMC performance, a metal shield can be used.
