Activating the brake

Always activate the brake via digital output DOØ2 "/Brake": do not use the PLC.

The digital output DOØ2 "/Brake" is configured as an output for operating a relay with free-wheeling diode and a control voltage of DC 24 V / max. 150 mA / 3.6 W. A power contactor can be controlled directly with a DC 24 V coil voltage or the BMK brake rectifier. This power contactor is used to switch the brake.

The startup function in the FBG11B keypad and in MOVITOOLS^® MotionStudio sets the brake parameters for the 2 and 4-pole motors from SEW-EURODRIVE. The brake parameters (P73_) must be set manually when using SEW-EURODRIVE motors with a higher number of poles and when using non-SEW motors.
