Configuration

Configuration of the motor brake in the TC3 Drive Manager takes place via parameter P-0-0060. The setting options of this IDN are described below.

Type

Default value: 0 No motor brake

Here you can choose between the following settings:

• 0: No motor brake
  The servomotor has no holding brake.
• 1: Motor brake: currentless locked
  The servomotor has a holding brake. If no current flows through the holding brake, the brake is closed and the rotor is prevented from moving.
• 2: External motor brake: currentless locked (from firmware v2.10)
  A servomotor with electronic type plate is used without motor brake. The AX5000 is intended to control an external motor brake via the brake output.
  For this combination the setting „2: External motor brake: currentless locked“ must be selected, otherwise a parameter error (F4A5) is issued.
  This error message describes a software conflict between the setting in P-0-0060 and the entry in the electronic type plate of the servomotor.

Usage

Default value: 0 Standard holding brake

Here you can choose between the following settings:

• 0: Standard holding brake
  The default settings of the holding brake are used, based on which the holding brake only engages at standstill.
• 1: Holding brake: Emergency brake
  When an error message occurs at the AX5000 servo drive, the holding brake engages (independent of standstill monitoring S-0-0124). Therefore the holding brake also acts on rotating axes. This can lead to increased wear and premature failure!
