DX5 Brake Motor Control

DX5 Brake Motor Control

There are two parts to setting up the brake control for DX5 drives that have brake motors
connected to them.

1. Set the DX5 drive module for the axis required for remote brake control.
      In Basic Setup set the Motor Brake Assignment to Brake Logic Active
      See picture below.



2. Program control
Use the DRIVE_BRAKE_OUTPUT command in a typical STARTUP program
to configure the brake control on controller power up.

Example
'Using Outputs 8 to 15 to control
'Axis 0 to 7 motor brakes.
'WDOG control will turn outputs On & Off respectively

DRIVE_BRAKE_OUTPUT AXIS(0) = 8
DRIVE_BRAKE_OUTPUT AXIS(1) = 9
DRIVE_BRAKE_OUTPUT AXIS(2) = 10
DRIVE_BRAKE_OUTPUT AXIS(3) = 11
DRIVE_BRAKE_OUTPUT AXIS(4) = 12
DRIVE_BRAKE_OUTPUT AXIS(5) = 13
DRIVE_BRAKE_OUTPUT AXIS(6) = 14
DRIVE_BRAKE_OUTPUT AXIS(7) = 15
