higher the speed
− run commands are controlled separately by
closing the direction switches (S1 and S2)
MS-control requires a 2-4-step controller. The
operation is as follows:
− each step has its own frequency
− the frequencies are freely selectable
− when controller is set to a certain step, the speed
changes to equal value

1.8 Mechanical brake control
The brake is controlled so that during starting the motor first generates torque and after that the brake is
opened. The same applies for stopping; while the brake is being closed, the motor still generates torque.
During a direction change, the brake is kept open all the time. D2H/D2C decelerate the motor to a stop
according to the set deceleration time when the run command is switched off, so the brake is used only
as a holding brake. This way brake wear is minimized. Only if a failure occurs or the emergency stop
button is pushed, the brake closes immediately stopping the motor and the load.
The motors of CXT-hoists and SM-trolleys have an electromechanical disk brake. The disk brake is
opened and kept open during run by DC-voltage. When there is no voltage present the brake is closed
and also kept closed by spring force.
2-phase AC
- D2C 002-045F D2C models 002F-045F include an AC-supply from two phases for the
disk brake control. D2C controls this line and it is protected by an
adjustable circuit breaker (max.4.0A). A rectifier included in the motor
rectifies the AC-voltage to DC-voltage brake coils.
REC12
- D2H 002-011F D2H models 002F-011F have a built-in REC12 brake control unit, which
is a line voltage half-wave rectifier (max.1.25Adc). The half-wave type
rectifier reduces losses and is enough to open the brake. There is a
contactor to switch the line voltage on and off. An external control unit is
needed to control other brake types.
ESD141
- D2H 015-110F D2H models 015F-110F have a built-in ESD141 brake control unit,
which is a line voltage full/half-wave rectifier (max.1.25Adc). Full-wave
rectification is used to open the brake quickly. Then, the rectifier
changes to a half-wave type, which reduces losses, but is enough to
keep the brake open. There is a contactor to switch the line voltage on
and off. The same contactor also disconnects the DC-voltage directly
from the brake coil, which guarantees that the brake closes fast. An
external control unit is needed to control other brake types.
3-phase AC
- D2H 055-110F
- D2C 055-110F D2H and D2C models 055F-110F include a 3-phase AC-supply for the
brake control. D2H and D2C control this line and it is protected by an
adjustable circuit breaker (max.4.0A). When a shoe brake is used, brake
closing is speeded up by capacitors. They are connected in parallel with
the brake via the brake contactor NC-contacts. The connection is
partially ready in D2H and D2C. Only the capacitors must be added
outside D2H and D2C. This connection can also be used to control 2-
phase disk brakes or a separate KA372B brake control unit.
