Configuration and control of the motor brake
Function description 47
Version: 1.5
Usage
Default value: 0 Standard holding brake
Here you can choose between the following settings:
• 0: Standard holding brake
The default settings of the holding brake are used, based on which the holding brake only engages at
standstill.
• 1: Holding brake: Emergency brake
When an error message occurs at the AX5000 servo drive, the holding brake engages (independent of
standstill monitoring S-0-0124). Therefore the holding brake also acts on rotating axes. This can lead to
increased wear and premature failure!
CAUTION
Risk of injury through falling or moving axes!
As a rule, holding brakes in Beckhoff servomotors are not designed for service braking of
the axes!
Service braking causes increased wear of the holding brake!
The service life would be reduced significantly. Increased wear leads to premature failure of
the components.
High risk of injury through axes that failed to stop! Particularly applications with vertical
axes can have a high risk potential.
Check the different machine states and the brake control in different scenarios. If neces-
sary, install an additional (safe) service brake.
