MECH BRAKE 
SETUP::MOTOR CONTROL::MECH BRAKE 
This block is used to control an electro-mechanical parking (holding) brake fitted to a brake motor. 
IMPORTANT  Engaging the brake when the motor is turning will increase its wear. This may lead to brake failure. 
Parameter Descriptions 
ENABLE 
PREF: 155.01  Default: FALSE  Range: FALSE / TRUE 
By default this parameter is set to FALSE which means that the drive's internal brake relay is opened at power-up and remains 
open, effectively disabling this block. (The brake would be permanently ON in this condition). 
Set this parameter to TRUE to enable the MECH BRAKE block. The state of the brake is then determined by the METHOD 
parameter, and also the MANUAL STATE parameter if METHOD is set to MANUAL. 
METHOD 
PREF: 155.02  Default: 0  Range: See below 
Select how to use the electro-mechanical brake:  
   Enumerated Value :  Method 
    0 : AUTOMATIC  Braking is handled automatically by the drive. 
    1 : MANUAL  The user applies/releases the brake. Refer to MANUAL STATE.  
T CLOSE 
PREF: 155.03  Default: 100  Range: 0 to 1500 ms 
When the motor speed reaches zero, the drive waits for time T CLOSE before applying the brake (METHOD = AUTOMATIC). 
T OPEN 
PREF: 155.04  Default: 100  Range: 0 to 1500 ms 
When the motor starts, the drive waits for time T OPEN before releasing the brake (METHOD = AUTOMATIC).
