6.1  24 V back-up on power failure 
Applies to SO CM-P.xxxx.2xxx.x 
6.1.1  Purpose of the function 
The "24 V back-up on power failure" function is used to stop in a controlled manner the 
masses moved in a mechanical system (e.g. robot arm). For this purpose the DC link in 
the 24 V switched-mode power supply (24 V SMPS) is coupled to the DC links in the 
axis controllers (DC Link +/-). During braking of the drive axis, energy is generated that 
charges the DC links in the axis controllers. Using this additional energy the 24 V control 
supply can be maintained for longer.
6.1.2  Function description 
Coupling takes place immediately after precharging. For trouble-free operation, the 
mains supply to the switched-mode power supply (X7) is then to be disconnected  
(see Figure, contact 3.2). For this purpose the parameter 270-0 in the rmware is to be 
set to the value "16".
NOTE:
The total power drawn from the internal 24 V power supply unit must not 
exceed Pv = 240 W max. for this operating case!
CAUTION! DAMAGE TO THE DEVICE DUE TO ERROR IN THE WIRING!
 x Carelessness may result in signicant damage.
Operation of these devices with 3 x 230 V mains supply is not allowed for the "24 V back-up on 
power failure" variant.
