Understanding Your
Resistive Brake Module
The RBM provides an alternative way to brake a drive system. It provides the
control system engineer with the opportunity to design safety controls into a
machine’s drive system that have two key features:
•Physically and electrically separate the drive power output from its
corresponding motor.
•Reduce the stopping time for a motor and its load should a failure occur to
the machine in which it is installed.
Drive commands are the preferred and quickest way to bring a drive system to
a controlled stop. The RBM provides a non-mechanical method for braking a
drive system, by draining motor energy through a resistive load that dissipates
the energy as waste heat.
The RBM can resistively brake a motor once per minute with the following
inertia mismatch:
Resistive Brake ModuleInertia Mismatch
2090-XB33-16, 2090-XB33-32
2090-XB120-01, 2090-XB120-03, 2090-XB120-06
Refer to the Motion Control Selection Guide (publication GMC-SG001x-EN-P)
for details on applicable RBM and motor combinations.
15:1 inertia mismatch
A contactor in the RBM physically and electrically separates the motor leads
from the drive output, and provides status outputs to a customer designed
safety circuit. To maximize the stopping speed, braking resistors are sized to
match the motor and load for a specific axis of the drive system. The resistors
are placed across the phases and brake the motor by quickly dissipating the
energy stored there.
ATTENTION
Implementation of safety circuits and risk assessment is the
responsibility of the machine builder. Reference
international standards EN1050 and EN954 estimation and
safety performance categories. For more information refer
to Understanding the Machinery Directive (publication
SHB-900).

System Mounting Requirements
There are several things that you need to take into account when preparing to
mount the Resistive Brake Module:
IMPORTANT
•The panel on which you install your components must be a flat, rigid,
vertical surface that is not subject to shock, vibration, moisture, oil mist,
dust, or corrosive vapors.
•The RBM must be enclosed in a grounded conductive enclosure offering
protection as defined in standard EN 60529 (IEC 529) to IP55 such that it
is not accessible to an operator or unskilled person, in order to comply
with UL
requirements providing protection to IP66.
ATTENTION
Plan the installation of your system so that you can
perform all cutting, drilling, tapping, and welding with the
system removed from the enclosure. Because the system is
of the open type construction, be careful to keep any metal
debris from falling into it. Metal debris or other foreign
matter can become lodged in the circuitry, which can result
in damage to components.
®
and CE requirements. A NEMA 4X enclosure exceeds these
We recommend that all equipment and components of
a machine or process system have a common earth
ground point connected to their chassis.
A grounded system provides a ground path for short
circuit protection. Grounding your modules and panels
minimizes the shock hazard to personnel and damage
to equipment caused by short circuits, transient
overvoltages, and accidental connection of energized
conductors to the equipment chassis.
Publication 2090-IN009F-EN-P — November 2004
For CE grounding requirements, refer to the
appropriate drive system installation manual listed in
Related Documentation.
•The ambient temperature of the enclosure in which you install the RBM
must not exceed 50° C (122° F).
•You need to maintain minimum clearances (refer to Figure 2 and 3) for
proper airflow, easy module access, and proper cable bend radius.
•The RBM can operate at elevations to 1500 m (5000 ft) without derating,
however, the continuous current rating must be de-rated by 3% for each
additional 300 m (1000 ft) up to 3000 m (10,000 ft). Consult your local
Allen-Bradley representative prior to operating at over 3000 m (10,000 ft).
Refer to Specifications on page 19 for mounting dimensions, power dissipation,
and environmental specifications for the RBM.
The figure below depicts noise zones for routing wiring. All wiring for the
RBM should be routed in a dirty zone. Refer to the appropriate drive system
installation manual listed in Related Documentation.

Dimensions and Clearance
Requirements
Mounting dimensions and clearance requirements for the 2090-XB33-xx are
shown in Figures 2 and 3, and for the 2090-XB120-xx in Figures 4 and 6.
IMPORTANT
The RBM must be mounted vertically, as shown, to ensure
proper contactor operation. The vertical mounting
tolerance is ±2°.
These procedures assume you have prepared your panel and understand how
to bond the groundplane of your system.
ATTENTION
Refer to the System Design for Control of Electrical Noise Reference Manual
(publication GMC-RM001x-EN-P) for HF bonding techniques.
The RBM contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive
parts and assemblies. You are required to follow static
control precautions when you install, test, service, or repair
this assembly. If you do not follow ESD control
procedures, components can be damaged. If you are not
familiar with static control procedures, refer to
Allen-Bradley publication 8000-4.5.2, Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage or any other applicable ESD Protection
Handbook.
Attaching Your Resistive Brake Module to the Panel
To mount your RBM:
1.Layout the position for your RBM in the enclosure.
IMPORTANT
Refer to the mounting dimensions and clearance requirements for each
type of RBM as listed below.
Dimensions for:
Mounting Figure 2 on page 6 Figure 4 on page 7
Clearance Figure 3 on page 6 Figure 5 on page 7
2. Attach the RBM to the cabinet. The recommended mounting hardware is
two M6 (1/4 in. - 20) bolts. A key-hole tab is at the top of the unit, and a
slotted mounting tab is at the bottom of the unit.
To improve EMC performance, mount the RBM on
the same panel as the drive system, and as close to the
drive as possible.
Typically the RBM should be positioned immediately
above the module it supports. Refer to Related Documentation on page 24 for mounting instructions
and restrictions specific to a drive system, and
information on use with safety relays.

IMPORTANT
To improve the bond between the RBM and subpanel,
construct your subpanel out of zinc plated (paint-free)
steel.
3. Tighten all mounting fasteners. The minimum recommended torque for
M6 (1/4 in. - 20) bolts is 1 Nm (9 in-lb).

within a general drive system. Refer to Related Documentation on page 24 for
installation and integration instructions containing wiring information specific
to a drive system. In addition:
ATTENTION
To comply with UL 508C, a Resistive Brake Module
must be protected upstream by a 2.5 kV overvoltage
control device.
Kinetix and Ultra servo drives from Rockwell
Automation meet this requirement. For additional
drive applicability, please consult your Allen-Bradley
representative.

IMPORTANT
To avoid hazard of electrical shock, verify that all
voltage on the capacitors has been discharged before
attempting to service, repair, or remove this unit. This
product connects to stored energy devices. You should
only attempt the procedures in this document if you are
qualified to do so and familiar with solid-state control
equipment and the safety procedures in publication
NFPA 70E.
To ensure correct wiring, verify connector orientation
on the RBM before wiring each connector. Figure 6
and Figure 7 on page 10 show connector locations and
pinouts.
Publication 2090-IN009F-EN-P — November 2004
3. Prepare your I/O signal wires by stripping the appropriate length of
insulation from the end of the wire. Use caution not to nick, cut, or
otherwise damage strands as you remove the insulation.
Insert the wires into the TB3 terminal and torque the screws to the
specified value. Gently pull on the wire to make sure it does not come out
of its terminal. Re-insert and test any loose wires.
4. Prepare your power cables as shown in Figure 10. by stripping the
appropriate length of insulation from the end of the wire. Use caution not
to nick, cut, or otherwise damage strands as you remove the insulation.
Insert the wires into the proper terminal (TB1 or TB2) and torque the
