The motor holding brake is either closed using OFF1 / OFF3 or OFF2. For OFF1 / 
OFF3, when the minimum frequency P1080 is reached, the motor is operated at 
this frequency until the brake has been applied (closing times of brakes lie between 
15 ms and 300 ms). The actual time is specified using parameter P1217 "Holding 
time after ramp down" (refer to Fig. 3-68). If, on the other hand, an OFF2 command 
has been output, then independent of the drive state, the status signal r0052 bit 12 
"Motor holding brake active" is reset. This means that the brake immediately closes 
after OFF2 (refer to Fig. 3-69).

Fig. 3-69  Motor holding brake after OFF2 
The mechanical brake is controlled using the status signal r0052 bit 12 "Motor 
holding brake active" of the brake control. This signal can be output as follows: 
¾  Via digital outputs 
The status signal is output via the digital output. In this case, the internal 
MICROMASTER relay (if the specification is sufficient) or also an external 
contactor or relay can be used to control the brake.  
¾  Via status signal using the serial interface (USS or PROFIBUS) 
The master must process the status signal. The signal must be connected to 
the digital output of the master to which the contactor / relay for the motor 
holding brake is connected.
