Thermal overload of brake coil or brake coil defect
SEW Eurodrive · [PDF] Operating Instructions
What does 89 mean?
The brake coil has experienced thermal overload, indicates a defect, is incorrectly connected, or its internal resistance is not correct. This condition can result from excessively short ramp times, prolonged brake engagement, or an improper drive-inverter combination. A faulty brake coil compromises the holding function, which can lead to uncontrolled movement or mechanical system damage.
Common Causes
- Ramp time setting is too short, leading to excessive brake energy dissipation.
- Defect in the brake coil winding.
- Incorrect connection of the brake coil.
- Incorrect internal resistance of the brake coil.
- Mismatched drive (brake coil) and MOVIMOT frequency inverter combination, especially if the fault occurs shortly after the first enable.
- Incorrect setting of DIP switch S3/2 (AS-i version) or S1/6 (Standard version) for specific MOVIMOT and motor power increment combinations.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Increase the set ramp time in the inverter parameters.
- 2
Perform a brake inspection (refer to the 'Inspection and Maintenance of the brake' section for detailed procedures and expected values).
- 3
Check the brake coil connection for continuity and correct wiring using a multimeter.
- 4
Measure the internal resistance of the brake coil and compare it to the values specified in the 'Technical Data' section.
- 5
Verify the combination of the drive (brake coil) and MOVIMOT frequency inverter using product documentation, especially if the fault is signaled shortly after the first enable.
- 6
For MOVIMOT with a lower power increment motor, check the setting of DIP switch S3/2 (AS-i version) or S1/6 (Standard version).
