Monitoring and supply modules record brake conditions, manage the power supply, and enable precise control of electromagnetic safety brakes. They monitor the release and engagement of the brakes, ensuring stable and reliable operation in every application. Different module types cover supply, monitoring, and combined functions.
The modules enable precise power supply, actuation, and monitoring of safety brakes and are available in various designs – from simple rectifiers to intelligent monitoring and combination modules.
Monitoring and supply modules are used anywhere safety brakes need to be reliably actuated, monitored, or supplied – in dynamic drives, vertical axes, and many other applications.
Safety brakes can only work safely and reliably if they are supplied with the required electrical power and, just as importantly, if they can be reliably disconnected from the power supply to build up the braking torque. In some applications, monitoring the switching status is also required to meet safety standards. For this purpose, we offer monitoring and supply modules that are optimized for use with mayr® safety brakes and provide ideal support. They ensure power supply, provide information about the brake status, and enable precise brake control. As a result, the modules ensure that safety brakes can be operated safely, precisely, and reliably in every application.
Monitoring and supply modules for safety brakes record brake conditions, manage the power supply, and ensure consistent actuation for reliable brake performance. These include half-wave, bridge, and fast acting rectifiers, control modules, and modules for sensorless brake monitoring.
They enhance functional safety, enable diagnostic functions, and ensure reproducible switching operations. In this way, monitoring and supply modules ensure that safety brakes can work as intended and operate optimally in every application.
The modules are typically connected to the power supply of the safety brake. Integration into maintenance concepts, control systems, and similar setups also heavily depends on the corresponding application setup. Detailed webinars on mayr+ provide guidance for this. We also recommend getting advice from our experts, as they can help with integration.
Our modules are suitable for electromagnetic safety brakes from our portfolio, depending on the corresponding module type and application.
When selecting the right monitoring and supply modules for safety brakes, in addition to the basic operating principle, technical data such as switching voltage, power class, integrated monitoring functions, feedback options, approvals, and compatibility with the brake are particularly important. All relevant data and information can be found in the installation and operational instructions of the corresponding module and safety brake.
