89

Thermal overload of brake coil or defective brake coil

SEW Eurodrive · MOVIMOT Field Distributor

What does 89 mean?

The brake coil has either experienced a thermal overload or is internally defective. This can result from short ramp times, excessive braking cycles, or an incompatibility between the drive and inverter, impacting braking performance.

Common Causes

  • Ramp time setting is too short, leading to frequent or harsh braking.
  • Defective brake coil, preventing proper heat dissipation or operation.
  • Incorrect combination of the drive (brake coil) and MOVIMOT frequency inverter, especially if the fault occurs shortly after initial enable.
  • Incorrect DIP switch S1/6 setting for MOVIMOT and motor combinations with a lower power rating.

    Perform a thorough brake inspection, referring to the "Inspection and Maintenance" section of the manual for procedures.

  3. 3

    Check the compatibility and configuration of the drive (brake coil) and MOVIMOT frequency inverter if the fault occurs shortly after initial activation.

  4. 4

    For MOVIMOT and motor combinations with one lower power rating, check the setting of DIP switch S1/6.

  5. 5
