Brake resistor monitoring (I2xt)

Due to the converted braking power, the brake resistor is thermally stressed and can even
be thermally destroyed by excessive braking power.
The monitoring of the I
It acts in proportion to the converted braking power.

In particular for applications such as hoists or applications with a DC-bus

Implement appropriate protective measures against thermal overload of the
brake resistor!
Examples:
• Parameterisation of an error response in
parameterised error message within the application or the machine control
system.
• Interruption of the mains supply by means of the temperature contact at the
brake resistor and a simultaneous activation of the mechanical brake.

 If the system is dimensioned correctly, the monitoring should not be activated. If
individual pieces of rated data of the actually connected brake resistor are not known,
they have to be identified.
 If the DC-bus voltage exceeds the overvoltage threshold due to a braking energy that is
too high, the monitoring for overvoltage in the DC bus is activated ("OU: DC-bus
overvoltage" error message).
