13.5.2 Short-circuit braking
The control modes for synchronous motors provide the opportunity to use "short-circuit brak-
ing" f
or braking.
The eect of short-circuit braking on the deceleraon behaviour depends on the motor prop-
eres, the eecve cable length, the load inera and the inial speed value (starng point).
Primarily, short-circuit braking serves to transform a part of the kinec energy into heat
energy which unburdens external brake assemblies and limit posion dampers.
NOTICE
In some
constellaons it is not possible to decelerate the motor speed of a synchronous
motor to zero by means of "short-circuit braking"!
Compared to the "quick stop" funcon, the braking eect is considerably lower.

Precondions
If short-circuit braking shall be used as the only deceleraon means, it is recommended that
the f
easibility is previously veried by means of tests. For this purpose, short-circuit braking
can be triggered in the applicaon via bit 6 in the Lenze control word 0x2830. The oscilloscope
funcon of the engineering tool (e.g. »EASY Starter«) serves to record the following important
parameters:
•
Actual v
elocity 0x606C
•
Phase current U, V, W ...
Details
The short-circuit current adjusts itself freely in accordance with the motor volt-
ag
e (kE * speed) and the internal resistance of the system. Thus, it is absolutely
necessary that the ampacity of the servo inverter is based on the maximum
expected short-circuit current. Guide value: I
max_device
(3 s) ≥ 1.5 * Imax_motor
(according to data sheet / catalog) In case the assignment diers, a rang based
on the currently possible parameters (max. speed, max. motor current, eld
weakening, etc.) is required!
The
funcon can be used as follows:
1.
"Short-circuit braking" can be parameterised via bit 6 in the Lenze control word 0x2830 if
•
the braking energy cannot be converted into heat in a brake resistor.
•
e.g. an error has been detected in the encoder system which does not permit a braking
via quick stop.
2.
"Short-circuit braking" can be parameterised as a response to minor faults.
•
Due to an encoder error, for instance, a quick stop might not be possible anymore.
