AXIS#.MOTOR.BRAKE

Description

The AXIS#.MOTOR.BRAKE parameter notifies the firmware whether a brake exists or not. It does not apply or release the brake. If a brake is found to be present, the firmware considers hardware indications regarding the brake circuits (such as open circuit or short circuit). If a brake does not exist, then the firmware ignores the hardware indications since they are irrelevant.

Value

Status

0

Motor brake does not exist.

1

Motor brake exists and brake hardware circuitry checks are enabled.

100 For special, low current, brake applications, brake faults are bypassed with this setting.

When the axis is enabled, setting AXIS#.MOTOR.BRAKE to 1 when no motor brake exists creates a fault.

Fieldbus Information

FieldbusClosed A Fieldbus is an industrial network system for real-time distributed control (e.g. CAN or Profibus). It is a way of connecting instruments in a plant design Parameter Index Sub-Index Data Type Float Scale Units Access PDOClosed PDO is a type of protocol frame used in some fieldbuses. A PDO contains one or more object dictionary entries, which define the application data transferred between devices. Mappable
EtherCATClosed ***EtherCAT is an open, high-performance Ethernet-based fieldbus system. The development goal of EtherCAT was to apply Ethernet to automation applications which require short data update times (also called cycle times) with low communication jitter (for synchronization purposes) and low hardware costs COE and CANopen AXIS1.MOTOR.BRAKE 0x500B 0x8 USINT - - RW False
