Motor brake control output:
If the motor you are using has a brake then the drive has the ability to control a motor brake via any of the available digital
outputs (Note that by default output 0 is pre-configured as a GLOBALERROROUTPUT – i.e. a drive status output – so it is
common to use an alternative output for brake control). The OUTPUTACTIVELEVEL keyword should be used to ensure the
specific output channel selected to control the motor brake is configured to be active low. Motor brake control is configured via
drive parameters dedicated to this function (these keywords all start with the text MOTORBRAKE). It’s important to consider
where the 24Vdc supply for the brake will come from. This should be from a separate isolated power supply from that which is
used to supply logical devices such as the drive control card, and other control equipment.
