8.3 Testing the function of the brake mechanical system
This value must be entered with an additional safety margin in MD
$MA_SAFE_BRAKETEST_TORQUE. The magnitude of the margin is oriented
to the maximum holding force to be tested.
Example:
The weight of the vertical axis is 4000 N, the guaranteed braking force is 6000
N. On account of the weight of the axis, a torque of 32% of the holding torque
of the motor is obtained and displayed in MD 1728. Therefore 32% must be
parameterized in MD 1192. The correct value for $MA_BRAKETEST_TORQUE
is obtained as follows:
$MA_SAFE_BRAKETEST_TORQUE = 32% * 6000N / 4000N = 48%
In addition, the electronic weight equalization should be parameterized in the
axial NCK-MD 32460: $MA_TORQUE_OFFSET. This means that the
necessary holding torque is re-established much faster when the brake is
released (the brake is open).
$MA_SAFE_BRAKE The monitoring window for the maximum permissible movement in the brake
TEST_POS_TOL test is defined in the axial MD $MA_SAFE_BRAKETEST_POS_TOL. The PLC
actively monitors this position window – from the start of the brake test and not
only when it is detected that the fixed endstop has been reached. This is a
difference when compared to activating traversing to the fixed endstop from the
part program.
The contour deviation that is determined is always used in the brake test to
detect that the fixed endstop has been reached. The parameterization in
$MA_FIXED_STOP_BY_SENSOR is therefore irrelevant. The required
threshold value must be set in MD $MA_FIXED_STOP_THRESHOLD. This
means that the traversing distance from the PLC via FC 18 must be greater
than this threshold value. Furthermore, the drive must have reached its torque
limit parameterized via $MA_SAFE_BRAKETEST_TORQUE.
8.3.3 Sequence
The brake test in the PLC is carried out by calling data block FB11 (in the basic
program) from the user program. The brake test comprises the following steps:
Step
Start brake test
Close brake
Output traversing command
Output traversing command test
Wait for the holding time
De-select brake test/open brake
Output test O.K.
