5.12 Soft Braking
For high inertia loads the MCD 500 can be configured for soft braking.
In this application the MCD 500 is employed with forward run and braking contactors. When MCD 500 receives a start signal
(button S1), it closes the forward run contactor (KM1) and controls the motor according to the programmed primary motor
settings.
When the MCD 500 receives a stop signal (button S2), it opens the forward run contactor (KM1) and closes the braking contactor
(KM2) after a delay of approximately 2-3 seconds (KT1). KA3 is also closed to activate the secondary motor settings, which should
be user programmed for the desired stopping performance characteristics.
When motor speed approaches zero, the external shaft rotation sensor (A2) stops the soft starter and opens the braking
contactor (KM2).
