Categorization by frame size and option code
Some descriptions, instructions, technical data and dimensional drawings which concern
only certain brake units are marked with the symbol of the frame size such as 4×R8i. The
marking derives from the quantity and basic construction of the brake chopper modules that
form the brake unit. For example, frame size 2×R8i indicates that the brake unit consists of
two frame size R8i brake chopper modules connected in parallel.
The frame size is marked on the type designation labels. The frame size of each brake
chopper module is also shown in the technical data.
The instructions and technical data which concern only certain optional selections are marked
with option codes (such as +E210). The options included in the drive can be identified from
the option codes on the type designation label.
Use of component designations
Some device names in the manual include the item designation in brackets, for example
[Q20], to make it possible to identify the components in the circuit diagrams of the drive.

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.
