Siemens SINAMICS G120 CU240B-2 Operating Instructions Manual page 191

DC braking converts some of the kinetic energy of the motor and load into heat in the motor
(temperature rise). The motor will overheat if the braking operation lasts too long or the
motor is braked too often.

CAUTION
DC braking enabling:
Description
Select DC braking via external command:
BI: DC braking activation (factory setting: 0)
Selects DC braking via a signal that was used by an external source (BICO). The
function remains active as long as the external signal is active.
Selection of DC braking via fault:
Set the fault number for fault reaction (Factory setting: 0) Set the fault number for which
DC braking should be activated, e.g.: p2100[3] = 7860 (external fault 1).
Set the fault reactionFactory setting: 0)
Setting the fault reaction for the selected fault e.g. p2100[3] = 6 (DC braking for external
fault 1).
DC braking cannot be selected for all faults.
Setting the DC braking:
Description
DC braking configuration (factory setting: 0)
Activate DC braking.
0: No function (factory setting)
4: DC braking
DC braking braking current (factory setting: 0 A)
Setting the braking current for the DC braking.
DC braking duration (factory setting: 1 s)
DC braking start speed (factory setting: 210000 rpm)
If the actual speed falls below this threshold, DC braking is activated.
Motor de-excitation
The parameter is calculated via p0340 = 1, 3.
The inverter can trip due to an overcurrent during DC braking if the de-excitation time is
too short.
