2.1.2 Mains infeed module
The mains infeed module performs the following tasks:
S Supplies power for the SINUMERIK 840D and axis modules
S Generates the DC link voltage for the motors
S Regenerative feedback (I/RF) or braking resistor (OI) for generator-mode
operation
If the internal braking resistance is not sufficient, pulsed resistor modules can be
installed.
The I/RF module feeds back into excess DC link energy generated during brak-
ing the supply system.
The I/RF or OI module is installed as the first module on the left.
