Task

Modifying the behavior of the motor brake.

Description

This function enforces the release of the motor brake.

  • Release = TRUE

    The brake is released or does not engage when the power is removed from the motor.

  • Release = FALSE

    The brake engages at standstill when the axis is not controlled (for example, ControllerEnable is de-activated).

NOTE: This function is only valid if the drive (for example, LXM62DxS) does not have a detected error pending with the Reaction AD, BD1, BD2, or CD.

This function has no effect if the parameter BrakeMode is set to "Control brake via user program / 3".

The processing takes a few milliseconds; this is why a cycle time increase is possibly necessary.

NOTE: The system only sets the state to the default value when the Sercos drive bus starts up. The state of the motor brake does not change during program reset (Online > Reset), program stop, or program change.
