Servo Drive Regenerative Energy Absorption Capacity; Absorbing Regenerative Energy With An External Regeneration Resistor - Omron SMARTSTEP 2 R88M-G Series User Manual

4-4 Regenerative Energy Absorption

Servo Drive Regenerative Energy Absorption Capacity

The SMARTSTEP 2 Servo Drives absorb regenerative energy internally with built-in capacitors.
If the regenerative energy is too large to be processed internally, an overvoltage error (AL12) occurs
and operation cannot continue. The following table shows the regenerative energy (and amount of
regeneration) that each Servo Drive can absorb.
If these values are exceeded, take the following measures.
 Add an External Regeneration Resistor.
 Reduce the operating rotation speed. (The amount of regeneration is proportional to the square of
the rotation speed.)
 Lengthen the deceleration time (to decrease the regenerative energy produced per time unit).
 Lengthen the operation cycle, i.e., the cycle time (to decrease the average regeneration power).

Absorbing Regenerative Energy with an External Regeneration
Resistor
If the regenerative energy exceeds the absorption capacity of the Servo Drive, connect an External
Regeneration Resistor. Connect the External Regeneration Resistor to CNA pins 5 and 3 (between
terminals P and B1) of the Servo Drive. Double-check the pin numbers when connecting the resistor
because the Regeneration Resistor may be damaged by burning if connected to the wrong
terminals. The External Regeneration Resistor will heat up to approximately 120
near equipment or wiring that is easily affected by heat. Attach radiator plates suitable for the heat
radiation conditions.
