Brake control

Brakes are controlled via terminal X10 Brake output DB0/DB00 on the inverter or via the assigned safe digital output F-DOx (if available). Control via other electronic devices or controllers is not permitted.

The digital output (DB0; DB00) is designed as an output for operating a relay with protection circuit with a DC 24 V control voltage, a maximum current of 150 mA and a power rating of 3.6 W.

As a result, a power contactor with DC 24 V coil voltage or a suitable brake rectifier from SEW‑EURODRIVE can be controlled directly. The brake is switched with this power contactor.

The technical data of the safe digital outputs can be found in the chapter Project planning for functional safety.

Direct switching of the brake via (DB0; DB00; D-DOx) is not permitted.
