SEW Eurodrive · [PDF] Operating Instructions
The brake coil has experienced thermal overload, indicates a defect, is incorrectly connected, or its internal resistance is not correct. This condition can result from excessively short ramp times, prolonged brake engagement, or an improper drive-inverter combination. A faulty brake coil compromises the holding function, which can lead to uncontrolled movement or mechanical system damage.
Click steps to track your progress.
Increase the set ramp time in the inverter parameters.
Perform a brake inspection (refer to the 'Inspection and Maintenance of the brake' section for detailed procedures and expected values).
Check the brake coil connection for continuity and correct wiring using a multimeter.
Measure the internal resistance of the brake coil and compare it to the values specified in the 'Technical Data' section.
Verify the combination of the drive (brake coil) and MOVIMOT frequency inverter using product documentation, especially if the fault is signaled shortly after the first enable.
For MOVIMOT with a lower power increment motor, check the setting of DIP switch S3/2 (AS-i version) or S1/6 (Standard version).
