2-8 Wiring of motor brake
The magnetic brake of servomotors with magnetic brake is driven by the control signal (MBR) output
by the servo amplifier MDS-B-SVJ2. The servo amplifier releases the brake when the motor is ON.
(Servo ON means when torque is generated in the motor.)
Parameter setting is not required when using motor brake control output (MBR).
2-8-1 Motor brake release sequence
The motor brake control output (CN3 connector: MBR) releases the motor brake in the sequences in
the following drawing when canceling the emergency stop. Because the brake is released after the
start of the power ON to the servomotor, dropping due to an uncontrolled state does not occur.

2-8-2 Control during servo OFF commands
When a servo OFF command is input by an NC sequence input, the motor brake turns ON
simultaneously when the motor ON is shut off. Note that the vertical axis drop prevention control is not
validated, so a drop due to the brake operation lag occurs. When the servo OFF is canceled, a drop
due to an uncontrolled state does not occur.

CAUTION
The vertical axis drop prevention control only operates during an emergency
stop (including alarms and power failures). It does not operate when a servo
OFF command is input.
2-8-3 Operation sequences when an emergency stop occurs
The motor brake control output operation when an emergency stop occurs differs according to the
motor deceleration stop method. Refer to section "5-4 Setting for emergency stop" for details on the
operation sequences for each stop method.
