For compound braking (this is enabled using P1236) DC braking is superimposed
with regenerative braking (where the drive regenerates into the line supply as it
brakes along a ramp). If the DC link voltage exceeds the compound switch-in
threshold V
DC-Comp
(refer to Fig. 3-53), then a DC current is impressed as a function
of P1236. In this case, braking is possible with a controlled motor frequency and
minimum regenerative feedback. Effective braking is obtained without having to
use additional components by optimizing the ramp-down time (P1121 for OFF1 or
when braking from f
1
to f
2
, P1135 for OFF3) and using compound braking P1236.
Compound braking is suitable for:
 Horizontal motion (e.g. traversing drives, conveyor belts)
 Vertical motion (e.g. hoisting gear)

Fig. 3-53 Compound braking
The compound braking switch-in threshold V
DC-Comp
is calculated as a function of
parameter P1254 (Auto detect V
DC
switch-on levels) either directly using the line
supply voltage P0210 or indirectly using the DC link voltage and r1242 (refer to the
formula in Fig. 3-53).
