Motion Brake Module
A brake control module allows the level of the control voltage to be adjusted. Modulated volt-
ages provide control over the entire range of brake movement. The module provides the ability
to control the rate at which the brake descends onto the braking surface. With this ability, brake
control can be more subtle resulting in a smoother ride under all motion conditions in which
the brake plays a part, saving energy, and reducing brake coil temperatures.
The MCE brake module can be controlled by discrete inputs or through a CAN interface. Dis-
crete control provides compatibility with MCE legacy controls.

Configuration
The top board, TC-FCL, provides the controls to configure the module for job requirements.
Such configuration is completed at the factory when the module is shipped installed in a con-
troller. If the module is a modification to an existing control, check this instruction for proper
settings. If you are replacing an existing module, set up the new module to match.
