9-3-3 Magnetic brake power supply
CAUTION
1. The internal power supply output (VDD) 24 VDC as digital output cannot be
used for the magnetic brake release power supply. Always prepare an
external release power supply dedicated for the magnetic brakes.
2. Always install a surge absorber on the brake terminal when using DC OFF.
3. Do not connector or disconnect the cannon plug while the brake power is
ON. The cannon plug pins could be damaged by sparks.
(1) Brake excitation power supply
① Prepare a brake excitation power supply that can accurately ensure the attraction current in
consideration of the voltage fluctuation and excitation coil temperature.
② The brake terminal polarity is random. Make sure not to mistake the terminals with other
circuits.
(2) Brake excitation circuit
(a) AC OFF and (b) DC OFF can be used to turn OFF the brake excitation power supply (to apply
the brakes).
(a) AC OFF
The braking delay time will be longer, but the excitation circuit will be simple, and the relay cut
off capacity will be smaller.
(b) DC OFF
The braking delay time can be shortened, but a surge absorber will be required and the relay
cut off capacity will increase.
<Cautions>
• Provide sufficient DC cut off capacity at the contact.
• Always use a serge absorber.
• When using the cannon plug type, the surge absorber will be further away, so use shielded
wires between the motor and surge absorber.
