1 Task
1.1 Overview
Introduction
A distributed Siemens converter is to be connected to a SEW motor equipped with brake.
However, the converter power unit has an integrated brake rectification circuit. Which is available via two connections (brake + and brake -).
However, the SEW motor has a brake that has 3 connections.
As a consequence, the question arises how these two different systems can be connected with one another.
Overview of the task
Figure 1-1
Task description
The task of the application is to open the SEW brake from the SINAMICS G120D, without requiring additional functions in the PLC.

2 Solution There are two principle solutions. These will be explained based on the SINAMICS G120D. Alternatively, the G110D and the ET200proFC can also be used. Although these have the same connections, they differ however in the commissioning screen forms as well as the direct connection when opening (boost function of the G110D) and closing the brakes (no accelerated voltage reduction/decay).
2.1 Basic solution 1 – direct connection
Schematic
Figure 2-1
*For the pin assignment of the Siemens components, see Chapter 4 Hardware connections
The brake connection of the G120D is directly connected to the SEW brake using an auxiliary terminal strip. The center connection of the brake solenoid must be isolated.
Advantages
• Low hardware costs
• The brake is controlled with low delay
• Fewer error sources
Disadvantages
• Accelerator solenoid of the brake is not used.

• Only suitable for SEW brakes that are dimensioned for the supply voltage of the G120D. UDC = ULINE * 0.45
2.2 Basic solution 2 – external brake control
Schematic
Figure 2-2
*For the pin assignment of the Siemens components, see Chapter 4 Hardware connections
The SEW brake is connected via a contactor, which is controlled from a G120D digital output.
In this case, a distinction can be made between shutdown on the AC side and shutdown on the DC and AC sides (see Fig. 3-1).
When opening, both control types behave in the same way. However, when closing, shutdown on the DC side means that the current flowing through the solenoid is more quickly reduced to zero. This results in a shorter closing time.
For a shutdown on the AC side only, the connection between contacts 4 and 5 via the contactor is eliminated, and the blue cable is directly connected to 5.
Advantages
• The acceleration circuit is used
• Alternatively, it can also be used for braking with different input voltages
Disadvantages
• High wiring costs
• Many components
• Additional delay when controlling the brake

3 Basics
3.1 Basics on the SEW brake
Regarding the SEW brake, the question is frequently asked as to why this has 3 connections.

Accelerator solenoid
rd
wh

400V AC
With DC side disconnection
Without DC side disconnection
The brake has two separate solenoids, an accelerator solenoid and a partial solenoid. Together, these solenoids form the holding solenoid. In order to utilize the advantage of this arrangement, a brake rectifier is required that has been specifically designed for the purpose.
If this brake rectifier is used, then initially, the current only flows via the acceleration solenoid and the brake opens. After this, to hold the brake, the current flows through both solenoids; as a consequence, the current that flows becomes smaller.
There are two options to close the brake. One of these is shutdown on the AC side, where the AC voltage is disconnected, and the current flowing through the solenoids is reduced to zero through a free wheeling diode. The other option is shut down on the DC and AC sides. In this case, a DC circuit is additionally opened and the current is reduced to zero through a varistor. As a consequence, the current is more quickly reduced to zero and the brake closes more quickly.
If the brake outputs of a standard rectifier, e.g. of the G120D, are connected to the red (+) and blue (-) cables, and if the white cable is additionally isolated, then the brake behaves like a normal DC voltage brake with only one solenoid.

3.2 Brake output at the G120D
For a 400 V supply voltage, the G120D has an output voltage of 180 V DC. The DC output voltage is the supply voltage multiplied by 0.45. This DC voltage is not a smoothed DC voltage – that is taken from the DC link – but is obtained through half wave rectification. This is obtained using half wave rectification of the converter input voltage.

Configuring the brake
Fig. 5-2
To start, using the drop-down menu (1.) you must select the brake control type. The following can be selected
0. No motor holding brake being used
1. Motor holding brake acc. to sequence control
2. Motor holding brake always open
3. Motor holding brake acc. to sequence control, connection via BICO
For the direct brake control of the SEW brake "[1] Motor holding brake acc. to sequence control" must be used.
For the external brake control, "[3] Motor holding brake acc. to sequence control, connection via BICO“ should be used.
The screen forms of [1] and [3] are identical. The only difference in the function of the two is that for [1] the internal DC brake is switched, and for [3] it is not.
You can specify how long the brake requires to open and close using the brake release time (2.) and the brake closing time (3.).
The release time starts when the release condition is reached (magnetized, speed or torque). The condition remains active during the set release time. As a consequence, this time should not be selected to be too long. This is because the speed control and position control only become active after this time has expired.
The closing time starts when the switch-off condition is reached. And keeps the motor magnetized until the brake closing time has expired
An additional release condition can be selected in the next input field (4.). If 0 % or 0 Nm is entered here, then the release condition is that the motor is magnetized. This value is maintained while the brake is released. The normal setpoint and/or the position control for the CU250D-2 is not active.
If a V/f control is being used, then the starting frequency, which the motor should move against the brake when it releases, can be entered in this line. As standard,

this is interconnected with parameter p1351. Here, using the expert list, you can specify the starting frequency as a %.
For vector control, here you can specify the starting torque, which must be present in order to release the brake and while the brake is being released. As standard, this is interconnected with 0%. Parameter p2930 can be used as possible interconnection – where you can directly enter the value in Nm.
Behind the buttons "Release brake (5.) and "Close brake" (6.) are the screen forms, in which the release and close conditions are displayed, and the signals "Brake must be released" and "Brake must be closed" can be interconnected.
These screen forms are shown in more detail in Sections 5.3 and 5.4.
The interconnections "Release brake command" (7.) and "Close brake command" (8.) are used to interconnect the commands to the outside, for example to display the brake state or to control an external brake.
Note For the external brake control, this interconnection must be interconnected to a digital output, e.g. DO 1 (p731). Which is then connected with the contactor.
The states as well as the interconnection option for all of the bits of status word 1 used are shown under the "Status words" (9.) button.
5.3 Release brake screen form
In the following screen form, you can optionally set that the brake must be released (unconditionally released). This is necessary, if the shaft must be able to be freely moved; for example, when carrying out maintenance work.

The "Brake must be released" command is only effective if the brake configuration actually permits this (1 or 3). If the "Brake must be closed" command is simultaneously present, then closing the brake has priority.
5.4 Close brake screen form
Fig. 5-4
The standstill detection is set using the values Threshold (1.), Deceleration (2.) and Monitoring time (3.). If standstill is detected and an OFF1 or OFF3 command is simultaneously issued, then the brake is closed.
The brake is immediately closed with "Brake must be closed" (4.). This command has a higher priority than the "Brake must be released" command, but a lower one than the brake configuration itself.

Comparison
• For the external control, significantly higher currents flow and higher voltages are involved.
• This is the reason that the external control requires one half wave less to open the brake
• However, as a result of the contactor delay, the external control takes an overall longer time.
