Safe Brake Control (SBC)
What is the effect of the SBC safety function?
An inverter equipped with the SBC function monitors the cables to an electromagnetic brake
and when requested, safely shuts down the 24 V control of the brake.
You must supplement the inverter with a Safe Brake Relay for the SBC function.

Safe Brake Control (SBC)
Standard brake function
1. When the STO function is active, the inverter requests the SBC
function via the connecting cable to the Safe Brake Relay.
The Safe Brake Relay safely switches off the supply voltage
for the connected brake.
The brake closes.
2. The inverter signals "STO is active" via a fail-safe digital output
or via PROFIsafe.
