Fig. 5-3 Two-channel brake control
The Motor Module carries out a check to ensure that the “Safe brake control” func-
tion is working properly and ensures that the brake current is interrupted and the
brake applied if the Control Unit fails or is faulty.
The brake diagnosis can only reliably detect a malfunction in either of the switches
(TB+, TB–) when the status changes (when the brake is released or applied).
If the Motor Module or Control Unit detects a fault, the brake current is switched off
and the safe status is reached.
