General
KCM modules (KOLLMORGEN Capacitor Modules) absorb energy generated by the
motor when it is operating in generator mode. Normally, this energy is dissipated as
waste via brake resistors. KCM modules, however, feed the energy they have stored
back into the DC Bus link as and when it is required.

You should pay attention to this
Read the documentation!
Read this documentation prior to assembly and commissioning. Incorrect handling of the
KCM modules may lead to personal injury or material damage. The operator must, there-
fore, ensure that all persons entrusted to work on KCM modules have read and unders-
tood the manual and that the safety information in the manual is observed.
Observe the technical data!
Observe the technical data and the information on connection requirements (rating plate
and documentation). If the permissible voltage or current values are exceeded, the modu-
les may be damaged (as a result of overheating, for example).
Hot surfaces!
The KCM modules can reach temperatures of up to 80°C during operation. Touching
them can result in minor burns. Observe the permissible mounting position (vertical,
ground connections at the bottom) and ensure that a sufficient distance is maintained
from neighboring assemblies (right/left > 20 mm, above/below > 100 mm).

Saves energy: The energy stored in the capacitor module during regenerative
braking is available the next time acceleration happens. The module's incepti-
on voltage is calculated automatically during the first load cycles.
Power in spite of power failure: If the power supply fails, the module provides
the servo amplifier with the stored energy that is required to bring the drive to a
standstill in a controlled manner (this only applies to the power supply voltage;
battery-back the 24 V supply separately).
Expansion module for both applications. Expansion modules are available in
two capacitance classes.
