Motor brake output

Using a motor brake

An optional holding brake built-in to motor provides protection against unwanted motion when the power is cut and in case of error. If the brake is mounted on the axis mechanism and not directly on the shaft, note that undesirably severe torsional forces may occur on sudden engagement of the brake.
The output P 0125 MPRO_OUTPUT_FS_Motor_Brake should be used in conjunction with a motor brake. On this output the current is explicitly monitored and wire break monitoring can be enabled. The brake function can also be used in the other digital outputs, though without current and wire break monitoring.
If the output is set to BRAKE(2), the brake can be configured by way of the option field. The brake response can be adapted to the requirements of the application as shown in the following illustration and using the parameters listed. This function can be used in both speed as well as position controlled operation. The wire break monitor P 0748 MON_MotorbrkGuard can be enabled and disabled.
Parameter P 0148 ENMO is used to set the time for enabling a motor switch ("Timeout Ready to switch on").

Parameters

P. no. Parameter name Setting Function
P 0125 MPRO_OUTPUT_FS_MOTOR_BREAK Output for use of a motor brake. If no brake is used, the output can be used for a vast variety of other functions.
(2) BRAKE Setting for use of a brake
P 0147 MPRO_DRVCOM_EPCHK Switch-on condition (hardware switch)
(0) No Check Hardware enable "ENPO" is switched via the
"ENMO" function.
(1) Check ENPO must be switched via a digital input.
P 0148

MPRO_DRVCOM_ENMO

[0-65535 ms]

The timer "ENMO" (Enable motor contactor) generates an On/Off-delay of the motor contactor and thus of the power stage. The effect is active when setting and resetting the "START" command and in case of error. The parameter is in the "Motion profile" subject area.
P 0213

MPRO_BRK_LiftTime

[0-10000 ms]

"Brake release time" is the mechanically dictated opening time of the brake. An applied reference will only be activated when this timer has elapsed.
P 0214

MPRO_CloseTime

[0-10000 ms]

After cancellation of the "START" command the "Brake close time" starts. When it ends the "Brake closed" signal is sent. In the event of an error, the brake engages immediately without any closure time.
P 0215

MPRO_RiseTime

[0-10000 ms]

The "Torque rise time" is the rise of the ramp to build up the reference braking torque "Mref".
P 0216

MPRO_BRK_FadeTime

[0-10000 ms]

The "torque fade time" is the descending ramp to reduce the
reference torque "Mref" to 0.
P 0217

MPRO_BRK_LastTorqFact

[0-100%]

If the load changes, it is advisable to apploy factor 1-100% to the last actual torque stored
(0% = function off).
P 0218 MPRO_BRK_StartTorq

If the moving load always remains constant, "Mref" is set by way of parameter
P 0218 MPRO_BRK_StartTorq "Starttorque".

Mref =lasttorque * lasttorque-factor+ starttorque

When setting the Lasttorque factor = 0 according to the formula, only the Starttorque setting is used. If Starttorque is set to 0, the Lasttorque is used. On first operation there is no Lasttorque though. In this case StartTorque is set to 0 and the LastTorque factor unequal to 0 and then the control is started.

P 0219 MPRO_BRK_LastTorq Display parameter of last recorded torque
Scaling via P 0217 MPRO_BRK_LastTorq
P 0220 MPRO_BRK Lock Only for testing. Manual setting of this parameter causes the brake to engage.

NOTE:

Please check the settings of the stop ramps if use of a holding brake is specified.
