Automatic DC-injection braking (Auto-DCB)
"Automatic DC-injection braking" (in the following called "Auto-DCB") can be used when
the drive has to be deenergised at n
≈
0.
Function
For understanding the "Auto-DCB" function, it is necessary to distinguish between three
different types of operation:
1. When the drive is enabled and the speed setpoint falls below the Auto-DCB threshold
during operation, a braking current
is injected. When the Auto-DCB hold time
has expired, the motor is deenergised via the Auto-DCB function, i.e. the
controller inhibit (CINH) is set.
2. At the moment of controller enable, the drive is at standstill (n = 0).
If the enabled drive is to start up, the speed setpoint passed via the acceleration ramp
must exceed the Auto-DCB threshold
. Below this threshold, the motor will not be
energised.
3. At the moment of controller enable, the motor (still) rotates with a speed above the
Auto-DCB threshold and the drive is "caught".

How to set the automatic DC-injection braking
1. Set the hold time in code
to t > 0.0 s
• Automatic DC-injection braking is active for the time set.
• A braking current is injected (code
).
has expired, the controller sets the pulse inhibit.
2. Set the response threshold with
. This code can be used to set a dead band in
the setpoint. If DC-injection braking is not to be active here,
must be set to
the value "0.0".
Stop!
If the DC-injection braking operation is too long and the braking current or
braking voltage is too high, the connected motor may overheat.
