For drives which must be secured when powered-down to prevent them 
undesirably moving, the MICROMASTER brake sequence control (enabled via 
P1215) can be used to control the motor holding brake.  
Before opening the brake, the pulse inhibit must be removed and a current 
impressed which keeps the drive in that particular position. In this case, the 
impressed current is defined by the min. frequency P1080. A typical value in this 
case is the rated motor slip r0330. In order to protect the motor holding brake from 
continuous damage, the motor may only continue to move after the brake has been 
released (brake release times lie between 35 ms and 500 ms). This delay must be 
taken into account in parameter P1216 "Holding brake release delay" (refer to Fig. 
3-68).
