Note
For SINAMICS V90 200 V variant servo drives, the actual motor holding brake time consists
of the time delay of the motor brake and the time delay of the current amplifying comp
onent
(a relay in the example above); therefore, you can set the values of p1216 and p1217 as
follows:
p1216 = motor brake opening time + relay opening time
p1217 = motor brake closing time + relay closing time
Motor brake service life shortened due to the improper use
The motor brake is used for holding purpose only. Frequent emergency stops with the
motor brake will shorten its service life.
• Unless absolutely necessary, do not apply the motor brake as an emergency stop or
deceleration mechanism.
The operating principle of the holding brake is configured during motor selection for motors
with incremental encoders and configured automatically for motors with absolute encoders.
The start of the closing time for the brake depends on the expiration of the shorter of p1227
(zero speed detection monitoring time) and p1228 (pulse suppression delay time).
