Brake
This view allows for configuring an external mechanical brake. If a brake is present and connected to the drive, it can automatically be controlled and activated/deactivated by the system. The configurable parameters are:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Brake mode | The brake mode allows to select if the voltage applied when the brake is active is constant or variable. |
| Delay before release brake | Delay between release the brake and activation of the power stage (in ms). This delay is designed to prevent loads from falling or coasting when the effects of gravity or other external forces are seen in the system. |
| Delay after enable brake | Delay between deactivation of the power stage and activation of the brake (in ms). This delay is designed to prevent loads from falling or coasting when the effects of gravity or other external forces are seen in the system. |
| Time at full voltage | If the Brake mode is set to voltage variable, this parameter specifies the time (in ms) for full release brake (100% duty cycle). |
| Voltage % rest of the time | If the Brake mode is set to voltage variable, this parameter specifies the % of duty cycle applied to the brake after full voltage time. |
Brake operation is as follows:
Brake must be configured to the correct GPO, otherwise it would be like if there were no brake.
