Figure 35 - Motor Brake Circuit
Control of the solid-state relay to release the motor brake is configurable in the
Logix Designer application (refer to Configure SPM Motor Closed-loop
Control Axis Properties beginning on page 138). An active signal releases the
motor brake. Turn-on and turn-off delays are specified by the
MechanicalBrakeEngageDelay and MechanicalBrakeReleaseDelay settings.
These steps provide one method you can use to control a brake.
1. Wire the mechanical brake according to the appropriate interconnect
diagram in Appendix A beginning on page 193
.
2. Enter the MechanicalBrakeEngageDelay and Mechanical
BrakeReleaseDelay times in the Logix Designer application.
Refer to Axis Properties>Parameter List. The delay times must be from
the appropriate motor family brake specifications table in the Kinetix
Rotary Motion Specifications Technical Data, publication
KNX-TD001
.
3. Use the drive stop-action default setting (Current Decel & Disable).
Refer to Axis Properties>Actions>Stop Action in the Logix Designer
application.
4. Use the motion instruction Motion Axis Stop (MAS) to decelerate the
servo motor to 0 rpm.
5. Use the motion instruction Motion Servo Off (MSF) to engage the
brake and disable drive.

IMPORTANT Motor parking-brake switching frequency must not exceed
10 cycles/min.
IMPORTANT Holding brakes that are available on Allen-Bradley® rotary motors are
designed to hold a motor shaft at 0 rpm for up to the rated brake-
holding torque, not to stop the rotation of the motor shaft, or be used as
a safety device.
You must command the servo drive to 0 rpm and engage the brake only
after verifying that the motor shaft is at 0 rpm.
