The Mechanical Brake Control attribute governs the operation of the drive's
Mechanical Brake Output that controls the mechanical brake mechanism. When
set to Automatic, the Mechanical Brake is under the control of the axis state
machine. The sequencing for the brake is described in detail by the Mechanical
Brake Engage Delay and Mechanical Brake Release Delay attributes. When set to
Brake Release, the brake is unconditionally released, and no longer under the
control of the axis state machine.

When enabling the axis, the Mechanical Brake Release Delay value determines the
amount of time the device will delay transition from the Starting state to the
Running or Testing states. This delay prevents any commanded motion of the
motion axis until the external mechanical brake has had enough time to disengage.
If supported, a Torque Proving operation is included in this sequence prior to
releasing the brake.
Enable Sequence:
1. Switch to Starting state.
2. Activate Resistive Brake contactor to connect motor to inverter power
structure.
3. Wait for "Resistive Brake Contact Delay" while Resistive Brake contacts
close.
4. Enable inverter power structure.
5. Perform (optional) Torque Proving operation to verify motor control of
load.
6. Activate Mechanical Brake output to release brake.
