Brake chopper Conducts the surplus energy from the intermediate circuit of the drive to
the brake resistor when necessary. The chopper operates when the DC
link voltage exceeds a certain maximum limit. The voltage rise is
typically caused by deceleration (braking) of a high inertia motor.
Brake resistor Dissipates the drive surplus braking energy conducted by the brake
chopper to heat. Essential part of the brake circuit. See chapter Brake
chopper in the Hardware manual of the drive.
BIO-01 Optional I/O extension module underneath the fieldbus adapter module.
Control board Circuit board in which the control program runs.
DC link DC circuit between rectifier and inverter
DC link capacitors Energy storage which stabilizes the intermediate circuit DC voltage
DI Digital input; interface for digital input signals
