VB 230/400 - 36 These commissioning instructions were prepared with great care. Nevertheless, PETER electronic GmbH & Co. KG does not assume liability for damage resulting from mistakes possibly contained in this manual. Technical changes that serve to improve the product are subject to change without notice.
VB 230/400 - 36 Safety notes The described devices are electrical equipment for use in industrial electrical power installations. An impermissible removal of the covers during operation can cause serious damage to your health, since these devices contain live parts with high voltages.
VB 230/400 - 36 General description The electronic braking devices of the VersiBrake type enable a non-wearing braking of three- phase and a.c. asynchronous motors. The braking devices are used for drives that due to safety and functional reasons have to be reliably slowed down. After the motor has come to a standstill, an integrated standstill detection switches the braking current off.

VB 230/400 - 36 Block diagram optional MOTORCONTACTOR Controller Motor contactor interlocking Y - Contactor optional - Contactor Remanence detection Braking Standstill contactor detection Fault indication Functional description (see connection diagram) After switching on the operating voltage on 1L1 and 3L2, the main contactor interlock X5, X6 (lock) and the fault signaling contact X7, X8 (alarm) close.
VB 230/400 - 36 Approx. 1.5s after a motor standstill has been detected, the integrated standstill detection function switches the braking current off. If during the maximum braking time (15s in the case of standard devices) no motor standstill is detected, the fault signaling contact on the terminals X7, X8 (alarm) opens.

VB 230/400 - 36 12. Commissioning The device is to be put into opteration in 3 steps: 1. Mounting 2. Connection and 3. Parameter setting 12.1 Mounting instructions Caution: Danger to life through electric shock! The following conditions are to be complied with in order to ensure a safe and reliable operation of the VersiBrake: 1.
VB 230/400 - 36 12.2 Connection The braking device is to be installed according to the attached connection diagram. For other connections please consult Peter electronic GmbH & Co. KG. Note: Further connection proposals for special circuit arrangements are available via our homepage at www.peter-electronic.com.
VB 230/400 - 36 12.3 Parameter settings Seuence of commissioning: 1. Disconnect the plant from the supply mains. 2. Connect the current measuring instrument between the braking device, terminal „2T1“, and the motor terminal „U“. 3. Turn the potentiometer "I" to a position in the first third of the adjustment range (factory setting).(Please see chapter 7, page 8.) 4.
VB 230/400 - 36 13. Dimensioning rules 13.1 Dimensioning of braking contactors The braking contactor is switched on or off via a control contact of the braking device (no-load switching). When selecting the braking contactor, it must be ensured that the contacts are able to carry the maximally occuring braking current (nomianl/rated device current).

On the basis of the recommended I²t-value, braking current, and possibly the c.d.f., the fuse supplier is able to select a suitable type. Due to the great variety of producers, sizes, and types, PETER electronic does not recommend any particular fuses.
VB 230/400 - 36 13.3 Permissible braking frequency The braking frequency depends on the adjusted braking current. Please find below some typical values for braking devices of the VersiBrake type: Braking current Braking time Braking frequency 1 braking per 100s 1 braking per 300s 1 braking per 60s 1 braking per 180s...
