3.14 Electronic brakes
MICROMASTER 420 has 2 electronic brakes:
DC braking (refer to Section 3.14.1)
Compound braking (refer to Section 3.14.2)
These brakes can actively brake the drive and avoid a possible DC link overvoltage
condition. An inter-dependency as shown in Fig. 3-50 is present.

The drive decelerates along a parameterized braking ramp if an OFF1 / OFF3
command is output. A "flat" ramp must be selected so that the drive inverter is not
tripped (shutdown) due to the high regenerative energy which would cause a DC
link overvoltage condition. The DC brake should be activated while the OFF1 /
OFF3 command is present if the drive is to be braked faster. For DC braking,
instead of continually reducing the output frequency / voltage during the OFF1 /
OFF3 phase, a DC voltage / current is input (refer to sequence a).
The drive can be brought to a standstill in the shortest time using DC current
braking (DC brake). DC braking is selected as follows:
 After OFF1 or OFF3 (the DC brake is released via P1233) Sequence ➀
 Directly selected using BICO parameter P1230 Sequence ➁
For DC braking, a DC current is impressed in the stator winding which results in a
significant braking torque for an induction motor. The magnitude, duration and
frequency at which braking starts can be set for the braking current and therefore
braking torque by setting the appropriate parameters.
