NOTICE
Overheating of the motor due to compound braking
The motor will overheat if you use compound braking too frequently or for too long. This may
damage the motor.
● Monitor the motor temperature.
● Allow the motor to adequately cool down between braking operations.
● If necessary, select another motor braking method.

Description
Compound braking current (%)
With the compound braking current, the magnitude of the DC current is defined, which is
additionally generated when stopping the motor for operation with U/f control to increase
the braking effect.
p3856 = 0
Compound braking locked
p3856 = 1 ... 250
Current level of the DC braking current as a % of the rated motor current (p0305)
Recommendation: p3856 < 100% × (r0209 - r0331) / p0305 / 2
Compound-braking status word
r3859.0 = 1: Compound braking is active
