VB 230/400-25 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 230/400-25 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 230/400-25 Block diagram optional optional MOTORCONTACTOR Controller Motor contactor interlocking Y - Contactor Braking relay optional - Contactor Remanence detection Standstill Standstill indication 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 signalling contact X7, X8 (alarm) close.
VB 230/400-25 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. When restarting the motor, the signaling contact will be reset.
VB 230/400-25 Control inputs and outputs Control inputs Control Designation Description terminals X3, X4 Starting contact Connection of a break contact of the motor contactor Caution: Danger to life through electric shock! The terminals X3 and X4 carry mains potential. If a switch or contactor contact is connected to these terminals, it must have a test voltage of 2.5kV.
VB 230/400-25 Potentiometers „I“ Adjusting the braking current. 10. Options For special applications there are various options in order to extend the functionality of Versi- Brake-devices. The following is available: Wide-voltage range 200-575V (480V) - Option „B“ Motor PTC monitoring - Option „P“...
VB 230/400-25 The closing of the mains contactor starts the following sequence: 1. The potential-free contact X11, X12 will be closed (control of the star contactor). 2. After a period of 6s X11, X12 will be opened. 3. After a delay of 60ms the potential-free contact X12, X13 will be closed (control of the delta contactor).

VB 230/400-25 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 230/400-25 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. Further connection proposals for special circuit arrangements are available Note: via our homepage at www.peter-electronic.com.
VB 230/400-25 12.3 Parameter settings Sequence 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 on page 8).
VB 230/400-25 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 (nominal/rated device current).

Note 1: 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. If the value of the fuse or cutoff-I²t-value is selected too small, it may happen Note 2: that the semiconductor fuse reacts during braking.
VB 230/400-25 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 60s 1 braking per 180s...
