Calculating the Energy Consumption of the Dynamic Brake Resistor
Calculate the energy that must be consumed by the resistance for one dynamic brake stop.
To simplify the energy consumption calculation, assume that all the kinetic energy until the Ser-
vomotor stops is consumed by the dynamic brake resistor and use the following formula.
Out of all possible operation patterns, use the one which maximizes the kinetic energy of the
Servomotor.
