Programming Reference / Motion / Brake Resistor


The Brake Resistor block allows you to select how you want motor back EMF regeneration to be handled based upon your application.

Item Description
A Select the Slot for the particular InoDrive you want to define braking resistor options
B From the drop down, select the desired braking resistor function

Brake Resistor Options

Item Description
Shared The InoDrive monitors the DC voltage bus and automatically adjusts its internal braking resistor to minimize voltage regeneration onto the DC bus (Default).
Local Only The InoDrive monitors only its local motor’s behavior and automatically adjusts its internal braking resistor so there is no voltage regeneration onto the DC bus.
Combined The InoDrive monitors both the DC voltage bus and its local motor’s behavior and automatically adjusts its internal braking resistor to minimize voltage regeneration onto the DC bus
Disabled The InoDrive provides no automatic control of its internal braking resistor and any back EMF produced by its local motor will be regenerated onto the DC bus
