Thermal overload of brake coil or brake coil defective
SEW Eurodrive · MOVIMOT MM..C
What does 89 mean?
This fault indicates that the brake coil has overheated or is defective. It may be caused by frequent braking operations, excessively short ramp times, a mismatch between the drive and the MOVIMOT® frequency inverter, or incorrect internal resistance of the brake coil.
Common Causes
- Ramp time set too short, leading to excessive brake usage.
- Defective brake coil.
- Mismatch between the drive (brake coil) and MOVIMOT® frequency inverter, especially if the fault occurs shortly after initial enable.
- Incorrect setting of DIP switch S3/2 (AS-Interface) or S1/6 (Standard Design) for MOVIMOT® and motor with one lower power increment.
- Incorrect internal resistance of the brake.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Extend the set ramp time to reduce brake cycling.
- 2
Perform a brake inspection (refer to the "Inspection and Maintenance" section of the manual).
- 3
If the fault occurs shortly after initial enable, check the combination of the drive (brake coil) and MOVIMOT® frequency inverter for compatibility.
- 4
For MOVIMOT® and motor combinations with one lower power increment, check the position of DIP switch S3/2 (AS-Interface) or S1/6 (Standard Design).
- 5
Check the internal resistance of the brake (refer to the "Technical Data" section of the manual).
- 6
Switch off the 24 VDC supply voltage to reset the fault.
