Monitoring functions
● Automatic detection of braking resistors without thermostatic switch and corresponding
braking power monitoring (only if the "Braking resistor without thermostatic switch" setting
is used)
● I
● Temperature monitoring of the Braking Module
● Temperature monitoring of the connected braking resistor with thermostatic switch (only
for setting "Braking resistor with thermostatic switch")
● Short-circuit and overload detection (for all braking resistors)
● Ground fault detection (for all braking resistors)
Parallel operation
Several Braking Modules Booksize Compact can be connected in parallel to increase the
braking power. In this case, the braking energy is divided between the modules. Formulas
for calculating the parallel connection are given in Chapter Notes on configuration
(Page 116).
