Infeed Modules
6.1
Description
The infeed modules are used to connect the drive group to the line supply.
The infeed/regenerative feedback module (I/R module) and the module for the
unregulated infeed (UI module) are used to input power into the DC link. Fur-
ther, the I/R, UI, and the monitoring module also provide the electronics power
supply for the connected modules.
The infeed modules do not have any comprehensive overload protection. Such
overload protection must be provided by the configuration and correct setting of
the current values in the control boards.
For the UI module, when the motor brakes, the drive energy injected into the DC
link is converted into heat in the braking resistors and dissipated to the environ-
ment. These braking resistors are either integrated or mounted. When required,
one or more additional pulsed resistor modules (PR modules) can be used
within the limits specified when engineering the system.
This module is used for the following applications:
Machines with few or short braking cycles, low braking energy
Drive groups with limited dynamic demands, in particular for the main
spindle drive
I/R modules and HF/HFD commutating reactors form the step–up converter
(7 kHz) for controlling the DC link voltage and enabling a regenerative feed-
back. This module is used for the following applications:
Machines with high dynamic requirements placed on the drives
Frequent braking cycles and high braking energy
Control cabinet designs optimized for low operating costs
Note
The HFD line reactor is required in order that the I/R module can function, as
this is cyclically short–circuited for the step–up controller, voltage control
function to be active!
The overvoltage limiting module limits sporadic, transient overvoltages, for ex-
ample that can occur as a result of switching operations in the line supply.
