3.1. Relay Connector (TB301)
The relay can be used to automatically control a fail-safe brake on a vertical axis. It can also be used as a
general purpose relay. The normally-open relay contacts are accessible through TB301 and the Motor
Feedback connector. The normally-closed relay contact is only accessible through TB301 (see Figure 3-3).
The Motor Feedback connector allows the brake wires to be included in the motor feedback cable and
eliminate the need for a separate brake cable.
The brake output can be software configured; refer to the EnsembleHelp file for more information (see topics
for the EnableBrakeControl parameter and the BRAKE command).
When TB301 is used to power the mechanical brake control relay, the solid state brake control relay (TB202)
should not be used.
The user must verify that the application will be within the specifications of the Brake/Relay contacts.

The configuration of JP3 (Table 3-6) allows either the Brake + or the Brake - output to be switched by the
relay and connected at the Motor Feedback connector or for the brake to be connected at TB301. Refer to
