Condition monitoring in the modular system of digital motor integration
Brake controls with an extended functional scope are available in the MOVILINK® DDI option portfolio. The options of the BG.Z, BS.Z, and B series are brake controls that are integrated in the drive or inverter.
BG.Z and BS.Z are connected in the control cabinet via the MOVILINK® DDI interface in the MOVI-C® modular automation system, whereas the HV brake control B is an option of decentralized inverters from the MOVI-C® modular automation system.
In addition to the basic function of brake monitoring, these brake controls have implemented functions for condition monitoring of the brake and its wear condition and for self-monitoring of the brake control as standard.
BG.Z brake control
With their wide voltage input (supply with low voltage according to IEC 60050 in the specified range), the BG.Z brake controls enable spring-loaded brakes from the BE.. and BZ.. series to be operated in a large supply voltage range. Previously, it was necessary to select a rated brake voltage to adapt to the local AC voltage network.
With these brake controls, the use of a rated brake voltage is possible over the entire supply voltage range in a completely network-independent way. This provides you with an advantage in terms of logistics and maintenance, since only one brake type needs to be used in one rated brake voltage with one brake control. The same type of brakemotor and the same spare parts can be used.
