External armature short-circuit braking
The external armature short-circuit is activated via p1231 = 1 (with contactor feedback
signal) or p1231 = 2 (without contactor feedback signal). It is initiated when the pulses are
canceled.
This function controls an external contactor via output terminals, which then short-circuits the
motor through resistors when the pulses are canceled. Armature short-circuit braking has the
advantage with respect to a mechanical brake that at the start of braking (at a high speed),
the braking effect is initially high. However, at lower speeds, the braking effect is significantly
decreases - this is the reason that we recommend a combination with a mechanical brake.
A prerequisite for the use of the external armature short-circuit is:
● One of the following motor types was parameterized:
– Rotating permanent-magnet synchronous motor (p0300 = 2xx)
– Linear permanent-magnet synchronous motor (p0300 = 4xx)
In case of incorrect parameterization (e.g. induction motor and external armature short-circuit
selected), an error 7906 "Armature short-circuit / DC brake parameterization error" is
generated.

Internal voltage protection (booksize)
The internal voltage protection is activated with p1231 = 3. It is initiated when the pulses are
canceled.
The internal voltage protection is used to protect the drive group when the pulses are
cancelled. This is realized by short-circuiting a half bridge in the power unit (Motor Module).
