Diagnostic unit /DUE

The diagnostic unit /DUE for function and wear monitoring of the BE.. brake detects the switching status of the brake and its wear status by means of continuous measurement of the air gap. The diagnostic unit /DUE detects whether the magnetic circuit of the brake including the brake control basically works (brake opens and closes). Furthermore, the /DUE option makes it possible to detect a change to the air gap of the brake via a continuous air gap measurement. In this way, wear-related function restrictions can be detected and rectified by means of maintenance.

Note: The diagnostic unit /DUE detects the switching status and the degree of wear of the brake by interpreting the air gap. However, the /DUE option cannot determine the available braking torque. Additional applicative measures may be needed to check the braking torque.
