Functioning

IDN-P-0-0058 is used to configure the motor brake.

The IDN P-0-0059 is used to measure the applied current.

The holding brake is opened with the following sequence:

IDN S-0-0206 determines the time of the motor standstill after the motor current feed, so that the brake can vent first. If the "Drive on delay time" is set too short, the drive may try to work against the still closed brake when it is activated. This can result in increased wear.

Closing the holding brake is done with the following sequence:

IDN-S-0-0207 defines the switch-off delay between activation of the motor brake and deactivation of the current feed. If the "Drive off delay time" is set too short, the axis may sag during deactivation.

IDN-P-0-0097 indicates the state of the motor brake.

IDN-P-0-0096 can be used to release the motor brake manually or requesting activation of the brake manually. This bits overwrite the internal brake request. The brake is therefore released or engaged irrespective of the motor current feed and any travel command.

WARNING

Risk of injury!

Improper operation of IDN P-0-0096 can therefore lead to sagging of a non-energized Z axis or closing of the motor brake at full speed!
