2.3.6. Brake Output
Each axis has a dedicated brake output circuit. An internal 24 V power supply is used to energize the
brake. The brake output is driven by +24 V to release the brake.
Configure the brake with the BrakeSetup [A3200: EnableBrakeControl] parameter for automatic control
(typical). You can also use software commands to directly control the brake output. Refer to the Help file
for more information.
