MECH BRAKE
SETUP::MOTOR CONTROL::MECH BRAKE
This block is used to control an electro-mechanical parking (holding) brake fitted to a brake motor.
IMPORTANT
Engaging the brake when the motor is turning will increase its wear. This may lead to brake failure.
Parameter Descriptions
ENABLE
PREF: 155.01
Default: FALSE
Range: FALSE / TRUE
By default this parameter is set to FALSE which means that the drive's internal brake relay is opened at power-up and remains
open, effectively disabling this block. (The brake would be permanently ON in this condition).
Set this parameter to TRUE to enable the MECH BRAKE block. The state of the brake is then determined by the METHOD
parameter, and also the MANUAL STATE parameter if METHOD is set to MANUAL.
METHOD
PREF: 155.02
Default: 0
