5. Holding Brake

A holding brake is used to hold the position of the moving part of the machine when the drive is turned off, so that moving part does not move due to gravity or an external force.

Motors of axis 3 and axis 4 have a holding brake. A digital output on the drive can be assigned for brake control. Any of the digital outputs on the drive can be configured as the brake control output.
The assignment is made by selecting from the Basic Setup page in the drive commissioning screens or by writing directly to parameter Pn511.
