VB230/400-6/25/30LT 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. Disposal Instructions Equipment containing electrical components may not be disposed of together with domestic waste.
VB230/400-6/25/30LT 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. Adjustment work may only be performed by trained staff observing the safety regulations.
VB230/400-6/25/30LT General description The electronic braking devices of the VersiBrake LT-type enable non-wearing braking of three- phase and single-phase asynchronous motors. The braking devices are used for drives that, due to safety and functional reasons, have to be reliably slowed down. Braking is initiated when the connected and normally closed contact of the motor contactor is reclosed.

VB230/400-6/25/30LT Block diagram Power supply unit 24V 5V Interlocking Controller Braking time Braking current Functional description (see connection diagram) After the operating voltage on 1L1 and 3L2 has been switched on, the main contactor interlock X5, X6, the fault signaling contact closes. The motor can be started. A starting logic makes sure that, when switching the plant on with the master switch while the motor is still switched off, braking is not initiated.
VB230/400-6/25/30LT For the braking currents applicable to the respective braking times please refer to the table under point 7. By using an integrated monitoring function, the device protects itself against overloading caused by a too high braking frequency. For commissioning or setting-up purposes, 5 braking operations in direct succession are allowed.
VB230/400-6/25/30LT Control inputs and outputs Control input Control terminals Designation Description X3, X4 Starting contact Connection of a normally closed contact of the motor contactor. Braking interrupt: With the input X3, X4, a braking interrupt can be effected. For this purpose, another normally closed contact has to be connected in series before the normally closed contact of the motor contactor.
VB230/400-6/25/30LT Control outputs Control Designation Description terminals X5, X6, X7 Interlock (potential- During braking, the contact between X5 and X6 is free changeover open. This contact is to be looped into the control contact, common circuit of the motor contactor. Therefore, the motor contact on X5) cannot be started during braking.
VB230/400-6/25/30LT Potentiometers With the potentiometers it is possible to adjust the following parameters. „I“ Adjusting the braking current. The braking current can be adjusted in the range from approx. 10% - 100% of the rated device current. The adjustment is roughly linear. Caution! If braking times exceeding 20s are adjusted, the rated device current decreases according to the diagram on page 9.

50mm is to be kept. 11.2 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.
VB230/400-6/25/30LT 11.3 Parameter settings Sequence of steps during commissioning: 1. Disconnect the plant/system from the supply mains. 2. Adjust the requested braking current with the potentiometer „I“ (approx. 2 times the rated motor current). Since the potentiometer reacts roughly linear, it is possible to infer the braking current from the potentiometer setting.
VB230/400-6/25/30LT Note: If, after a braking operation, the „Ready“ LED flashes 2x (braking current was not reached), it may be possible that the value adjusted for the braking time was too small (0...1,5s). The braking time is then too short to build up a flow of current in the motor.

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.
VB230/400-6/25/30LT 12.3 Permissible braking frequency The braking frequency depends on the adjusted braking current. Please find below some typical values for braking devices of the VB...-LT type: Braking current Braking time Braking frequency VB ...-6LT 1 braking operation per 8s 1 braking operation per 16s 1 braking operation per 25s 1 braking operation per 45s...
