Introduction
7.1.1
Terminology and abbreviations used
Explanations of special terms concerning DC−bus operation can be found in the chapter
"About this documentation" under "Terminology and abbreviations used" (¶ 10).
7.1.2
Advantages of a drive system
When several controllers are operated in a DC−bus connection (DC bus), this offers the
following advantages:
Energy exchange between controllers in generator−mode (braking) and motor−mode
ƒ
operation.
The energy exchange reduces the supply power from the AC mains.
ƒ
DC−supply modules or feeding single−axis controllers can be dimensioned with a
ƒ
lower rated power.
The energy exchange reduces the braking losses in generator−mode operation.
ƒ
Advantages for installation:
Only one AC−mains connection (e.g. at the DC−supply module).
ƒ
Reduced wiring costs.
