EXAMPLE 1: APEX Series motors are available from Compumotor with an optional
mechanical brake. Call Compumotor’s Customer Service Department (800-722-2282) for
more information. The next drawing shows how to connect the brake to the fault relay
terminals.

Fault Relay with Mechanical Brake
24VDC is applied, through the fault relay terminals, to one of the flying leads on the motor's
resolver connector. The other lead is connected to ground. An optional diode is shown installed
between the two leads. The diode's polarity is correct as shown.
The drawing also shows that the fault output and the fault relay are controlled by the same
internal signal. Any fault condition that triggers the fault output will also cause the fault relay
to turn off (relay will be opened).
You can also use external resistors for motor braking, as the next example shows.
