5.11.4 Brake resistor monitoring (I2xt)
Due to the converted braking power, the brake resistor is thermally stressed and can even
be thermally destroyed by excessive braking power.
The monitoring of the I
2
xt utilisation of the controller serves to protect the brake resistor.
It acts in proportion to the converted braking power.
 If the I
2
xt utilisation reaches the switch-off threshold set in C00572:
– The error response set in C00574
 will take place.
–The "OC12: I2xt overload brake resistor
" error message will be entered into the 
logbook of the controller.
–The bMctrlBrakeChopper status output of the LS_DeviceMonitor
 system block will be 
set to TRUE.
 If the system is dimensioned correctly, the monitoring should not be activated. If 
individual pieces of rated data of the actually connected brake resistor are not known, 
they have to be identified.
 If the DC-bus voltage exceeds the overvoltage threshold due to a braking energy that is 
too high, the monitoring for overvoltage in the DC bus is activated ("OU: DC-bus 
overvoltage" error message).
 Apart from the threshold of the I2xt utilisation that can be set in C00572
, there is the 
switching threshold of the brake transistor which results from the mains voltage 
(C00173
) and the reduced brake chopper threshold (C00174).
 Danger!
In the Lenze setting (C00574 = "0: No reaction"), the response of the monitoring 
function does not
 stop the braking process!
In particular for applications such as hoists or applications with a DC-bus 
connection, it is necessary to check whether it is permissible to stop the braking 
process by means of the setting C00574
 = "1: Fault".
 Stop!
Implement appropriate protective measures against thermal overload of the 
brake resistor!
Examples:
 • Parameterisation of an error response in C00574 and evaluation of the 
parameterised error message within the application or the machine control 
system.
 • Interruption of the mains supply by means of the temperature contact at the 
brake resistor and a simultaneous activation of the mechanical brake.
