24 VDC Supply during Power Failures
In order to be able to provide the stop function for category 1 according to IEC 60204-1 during a power failure, the 24 VDC supply voltage for the servo drives as well as encoders, sensors and the safety circuit must remain active during the entire stopping procedure. The ACOPOS servo drives recognize a power failure and can immediately initiate active braking of the motor. The brake energy that occurs when braking is returned to the DC bus and the DC bus power supply can use it to create the 24 VDC supply voltage. An external DC bus power supply must be used for ACOPOS servo drives 8V1010 to 8V1090. A DC bus power supply is integrated in ACOPOS servo drives 8V1180 to 8V128M. The ACOPOS servo drives with an integrated DC bus power supply provide the 24 VDC supply for the servo drive and also a 24 VDC output to supply encoders, sensors and the safety circuit. In may cases, it is not necessary to use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) which would is otherwise be needed.
