Brake Calibration
This section describes brake calibration for DC systems using the iField Module advanced brak-
ing system. The iField module electronically controls brake voltage output.
Rollback Compensation
In later adjustments, drive and motor settings will be adjusted to control rollback. Since that
has not yet been done, we need to control rollback by adjusting Brake Pick Delay and offsetting
Speed pick delay 1 so that the brake remains set until the motor builds sufficient torque.
1. From the Controller > View menu select Layout and click Brake.
2. On the Brake > Control tab, verify that Pick delay is set to 1.500 seconds.
3. Verify that Speed pick delay 1 is set to 1.600 seconds.
4. Select Acquire from the Write privilege menu. Then press the “yes” button on the iBox
to grant the privilege.
5. Click Send to send the changed values to the controller.
Note
These initial settings should allow the Brake Calibration procedure to be performed without
generating faults. They will be modified as the car’s performance is fine tuned.
