The SmartSense(IoT) Spring Applied Brake or Clutch
Controller is a solid-state power supply and control for 24
VDC spring applied clutches & brakes which can be
integrated into an industrial Internet of Things, IoT, system.
Brake or clutch performance is optimized by applying full
voltage until armature movement is detected by the
SmartSense(IoT), no customer sensor required, then
automatically reducing to an adjustable holding voltage.
Therefore, full voltage is only applied for the time necessary
for armature movement, compensating for heat and wear
each cycle, before reducing power consumption and coil
heating while the brake is disengaged. This also allows for
faster brake engagement when coil voltage is removed.
Outputs for actual clutch or brake wear, worn condition for
replacement, sudden excessive brake or clutch wear, and
armature movement allow total remote monitoring of your
brake or clutch for easy integration into an IoT system.
Also, the brake or clutch output will turn off if there is no
armature movement within 4 seconds of initiation
indicating a brake failure.

Spring Applied Brake
or Clutch IoT Controller
IOT FEATURES
0-10V output proportional to wear
- no guessing when to replace brake or clutch
- save maintenance & down time cost by not replacing too early
- no worry of brake failure by replacing too late
10V output signaling 80% wear
- warning to replace your brake or clutch
10V output signaling wear is excessive
- know if your clutch or brake is suddenly wearing quickly
24V output signaling armature movement
- enhance positioning & stopping
- eliminate overlap between brake disengagement and motor starting
OTHER FEATURES
No sensors required, just connect to your brake or clutch
Auto-adjusting full voltage time for fast brake turn-off (release)
- no need to guess how long for armature movement
- compensates each cycle for temp & wear
Adjustable holding voltage
- saves energy
- reduces heat build-up
- lowers power consumption
LED load indicator with brightness proportional to brake voltage

DIMENSIONS
WIRING DIAGRAM
INITIAL SETUP TO BE DONE WHEN SETTING UP A NEW LOAD
(i.e. brake or clutch) FOR THE 1ST TIME
1.Set “Hi,Lo” switch appropriate for load (Lo ≤20W, Hi > 20W)
WARNING: Improper switch setting may damage the SmartSense(IoT) control.
2. Apply power to +,- terminals.
3. With “HOLD” knob at max (fully clockwise), apply voltage to 1,2 terminals and allow load
to warm up for 20 minutes.
4. Remove voltage from 1,2 terminals and press “Reset” button.
5. Re-apply voltage to 1,2 terminals;
- “LOAD” LED should turn on & Wear output should be 0V
6. Remove voltage from 1,2; “LOAD” LED should turn off.
NORMAL OPERATION
1. Apply power to +,- terminals;
- “LOAD” LED & load should be off & “WEAR” output should
be 0V.
2. When signal is applied to 1,2 terminals;
- Load should turn on fully & “LOAD” LED should turn on full brightness until armature
movement is detected then load voltage should reduce to voltage set by “HOLD” &
LED should dim proportionally
- A+ 24V output should turn on at 1st armature movement
3. When signal is removed from 1,2 terminals;
- Load, “LOAD” LED & A+ output should turn off
- W+ output will update on next cycle (0-10V proportional to
0-100% wear)
NOTES:
1. R+ 10V output will turn on when wear reaches 80%
2. E+ 10V output will turn on if wear increases by 5% on each of 3 successive cycles
3. Pressing RESET erases all previous wear data and resets control with current data
as new baseline.
4. Please contact Regent Controls for brakes or clutches ≤6W.
