Abstract

A drive system includes a power converter and a motor powered from the power converter via supply leads. An electromagnetically actuatable brake is disposed on the motor. The brake is able to be supplied and is therefore controllable from an AC/DC converter, which is powered via lines from a DC/AC converter that is powered and/or controlled by signal electronics of the power converter.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A drive system, comprising:
a power converter;
a motor powered from the power converter via supply leads;
an electromagnetically actuatable brake disposed on the motor;
an AC/DC converter adapted to supply and control the brake; and
a DC/AC converter powered and/or controlled by signal electronics of the power converter, the DC/AC converter adapted to power the AC/DC converter via lines connected between the DC/AC converter and the AC/DC converter.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the lines and the supply leads are disposed in a common cable.

3. The system according to claim 2 , wherein the lines and supply leads are twisted together.

4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the signal electronics of the power converter include a data-coupling device adapted to modulate and/or demodulate signals upon the lines, the AC/DC converter having a data-coupling devices adapted to modulate and/or demodulate signal upon the lines, the data-coupling device of the AC/DC converter being connected to signal electronics that are integrated on the motor.

5. The system according to claim 4 , wherein the signal electronics are integrated in a terminal box of the motor.

6. The system according to claim 1 , further comprising an STO (safe torque off) detector connected to the signal electronics integrated in the motor, the STO detector adapted to monitor voltage curves present (a) on at least two of three or (b) on three supply leads on a motor side, so that in the event of a line break and/or fault in the power converter, the brake is able to be applied.

7. The system according to claim 1 , further comprising a rotor-angle sensor and/or a sensor device disposed with the signal electronics integrated on the motor.

8. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the sensor device includes a temperature sensor, structure-borne noise sensor, and/or torque sensor.
