NOTICE
Material damage by using motors that are not short-circuit proof or an incorrectly
dimensioned Power Module/Motor Module
When using motors that are not short-circuit proof, activating the external armature short-
circuit braking can damage the motors or the Power Module/Motor Module.
• Only use motors that are short-circuit proof.
• Use suitable resistors for short-circuiting.
• Dimension the Power Module/Motor Module for 1.8 times the short circuit current of the

DC braking

Description
DC braking is only available for induction motors. It is used preferably when braking in a
hazardous situation, if controlled braking via the drive is no longer possible (for example, in
the event of a power failure, an EMERGENCY OFF, etc.) or if no regenerative infeed is
used.
DC braking is activated via p1231 = 4 or via p1231 = 14. It can be initiated via an input signal
p1230 (signal = 1) or a fault response.
