ABSTRACT:
A method for dynamically braking a motor, the motor having a plurality of terminals and receiving an input alternating current voltage waveform, by detecting the zero crossing of the input alternating current voltage waveform and for a plurality of position of the input alternating current waveform: sampling a voltage waveform appearing at a terminal of the motor to develop a sampled value for the position, comparing the sampled value for the position to a reference value for the position and setting a flag if the reference value for the position matches the sampled value for the position, introducing a delay period and generating a gating pulse to fire a silicon controlled rectifier to provide a pulse of braking current to the alternating current motor and then halting the braking of the motor if the flags for each of the plurality of positions are set. Also an electronic dynamic brake assembly operable in a SLAVE mode, a PRE-STOP mode, a HOLDING mode and a MASTER mode.
