Activating the function
In case the output stage is inhibited, you can release the brake by a control signal (digital input or process data bit) using the function "Release brake with FCB 01". For example, this allows to move loads freely using a horizontal conveyor.
Now make the following settings:
- Enabling the function:
- Via parameter settings
- Enable the function "Release brake with FCB 01 – enable" by setting the parameter Release brake with FCB 01 – enable to = "1" [1].
- (Path: Functions > Drive functions > FCB 01 Output stage inhibit)
- Configuring the control signal:
- Control via a digital input
- Assign the function "Release brake with FCB 01" [2] to a digital input.
- Control via a process data bit
- Assign the function "Release brake with FCB 01" [3] to a process data bit.



WARNING

Hazard from falling loads.
Severe or fatal injuries.
- Do not use the function "Release brake with FCB 01" for hoist applications and applications with potentially falling loads.
- Inhibit the function via the following steps:
- Inhibit the function using the parameter Release brake with FCB 01 – enable = "0" (path: Functions > Drive functions > FCB 01 Output stage inhibit).
The set control signal can be used to release the brake when the function block FCB01 is active.
