Overview
A braking resistor connected between power terminals 47/+ and 48/B of the regenerative drive can be used
for the RGN drive sizes provided with a built-in braking unit (up to size S32 included). The braking resistor is
used only when regeneration can cause overvoltage faults in the regenerative drive.
This menu allows setting the max. duty-cycle of the drive braking resistor.
The maximum allowable duty-cycle of the braking resistor is set through parameters
C211
[Max. Continuous
Operation Time (Ton)] and
C212
[Max. Duty- cycle (100 * Ton / (Ton+Toff) [%] )]. If Ton =
C212
, when the
time set is over, the respective command is disabled for a time equal to Toff = (100
–
C211
) *
C212

C211
[sec].

This parameter sets the max. continuous operation time for the braking
resistor. If the braking resistor is used for the time set in
C211
, the
relevant command is disabled for the rest time set in

= (Ton/(Ton+Toff))*100
This parameter sets the allowable duty-cycle for the braking resistor. It is
expressed as a percentage and sets the rest time of the braking resistor
after its max. continuous operation time set in
C211
.
